This piece is bronze with the Armand trademark engraved on the top with intricate design around the trademark. It is in good condition , has one very small indent on the bottom of the compact. There is still traces of makeup in the compact. I have never cleaned it or tried to have it restored in any way. The picture submitted is not of the compact I have as it is silver and mine is bronze but looks exactly the same. On the inside of the lid Armand is engraved on the top of the mirror and PAT-7-1-24 is engraved below the mirror with Made in U.S.A. below that. The mirror has one small age spot other than that there are no other discernible imperfections.
