I bought this set this year, but I wanted more colors, so I bought a 36-color set and no longer have a use for this one. The lid of the case is loose and opens easily, so I will secure it with a rubber band for shipping. Thank you for your understanding. Please ask any questions in the comments section. - Model Name: karat® aquarell 12 - Number of Colors: 12 - Type: Watercolor Pencils - Package: Metal Case Thank you for looking.
