If you're ever not sure if something is silver, just put an ice cube on it. If it's silver it starts melting instantly, it's unmistakeable. I supposed you could do this at a yard sale if you have like a McDonald's soda or something you could fish out an ice cube. Probably should do it on the sly, but it won't hurt the box, silver or no. If it's NOT silver, the ice transfers heat from the metal and the metal actually cools down before the ice melts. Silver has a really high property, not sure if it's called 'heat transfer' or 'conductivity' or what, but Silver is the metal with the highest whatever it's called... that's why this works.

Very cool. If it had been expensive night have had to test it, but for a dollar it was coming home.

@@SmouseHouseHobbies Absolutely. Set the top into something like a bed headboard, or a tabletop set in acrylic, or even set it in or on your front door, and put a wind-up door bell inside it. If you think of something functional and cunning, it might be there, admired, long after you and I are worms, mate.
