Was received in box in unused condition and know it can be appreciated by some patriot wanting US made products. Possibly vintage.Open slide is with magnetic ’key’ for quick access. When magnet is placed on the top of the cabinet on the marked area, the bottom gently slides out, revealing whatever you are hiding. Lights automatically when opened. Clock is seeming to keep time but mechanism can be easily replaced when necessary. Clock is run by AA battery. Beautiful deep glossy red finish- Wonderful piece!
