Description:
Beautiful metal and rose quartz pillbox. It is a small pill box or metal box, in which, the upper lid is made of rose quartz, and on the inside of the base, it seems to be made of white quartz. Inside, on the lid, it has two small rings.
It appears that this is a box that was sold on airplanes to passengers. In this case, the box has three stickers on the base that say:
- To be sold exclusively to passengers. Resolution 227/89 A.N.A.
- Argentina industry
- 00606
For this reason, we think that it is a box that was purchased on a trip to Argentina. We place it in the second half of the 20th century.
The box is in very good condition, but it would need a little cleaning, since it keeps traces of glue in some parts of its interior, especially on the edges.

Comments:
- Both the Measurements and the Weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector- Because differences in shades between photos and reality are inevitable, it must be kept in mind that the tones of the colors of the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the real colors.
- The Piece shows the wear of its time, as well as some stains. It has small flaws.
- The data provided here are unconfirmed personal opinions.
