Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1870s.

The case has a stunning engraved steel clasp with the pin which when pulled down releases the clasp and opens the box. The interior is all original in red velvet and cream silk.
The case remains in what can only be described as excellent condition regardless of the few scuffs and scratches, I have shown the worse area at the tip. Quite wonderful, the box measures 5 7/8" x 2" at widest.
