gold colour on the inside and sterling silver, not magnetic so pretty sure it's solid silver. What is it? think it's antique as been passed down to me.

Hi,
It`s a pillbox.No appraisals here.
Are there any marks ? Show us, please.
Non magnetic does not mean it`s silver. Marks will tell if there are any.

Close up images of those marks would help.
