This craft item is a traditional Japanese craft from the Meiji era, made of antimony, an alloy of tin, antimony, and lead. It was made by a company in Kobe after the war and exported to Europe and America, but that company no longer exists. Antimony products were highly valued by Westerners as traditional Japanese crafts and contributed to Japan's foreign currency earnings after the war. Although it is new and unused, there are some minor stains and scratches due to long-term storage. Therefore, it is listed as "near new." The box has some stains from storage.
