This craft item is a traditional Japanese craft from the Meiji era, made of antimony, an alloy of tin, antimony, and lead. It was produced 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. There are stains, minor scratches, and rust due to long-term storage. The box is a little dirty. Please check the images before purchasing.
