It has a lovely pearly white color with the natural shell ridges. The metal looks like brass.
The workmanship is good, with the metal parts solidly attached to the shell parts. There's no maker's mark. A line crossing the shell ridges is not a crack, but a natural part of the shell structure.
The shell pill box measures 2 inches long by over an inch wide and about 1 1/2 inches high when closed. It opens easily and closes tight.

Vintage Wood MUSICAL MAIL TRUCK BANK King of the Road! - eBay (item 310040847535 end time Apr-19-08 18:31:33 PDT) This charming piggy bank is a wooden mail truck with rolling wheels and it plays music when you wind the key. The bottom is marked, "© Logomobile 1989 Made in U.S.A." There's a black plastic "Caplugs" stopper in the bottom opening which allows the saved coins to be retrieved.
The black printed design shows a cartoon driver in the old-style truck. The sides are marked, "United States Postal Service U.S. Mail." It's charming how the driver is drawn form all side as looking out the driver's side window.
The mail truck bank measures 6 inches long, 3 1/2 inches wide and 4 1/2" high. The music plays "King of the Road" ("I'm a man of means by no means...") when the key is wound up. It has a couple minor dents in the roof.
