This is a brass card stand. It has been stored at my parents' home. When I decided to list it, it was tarnished, so I polished it lightly. *Due to the nature of brass, there may be differences between the product when purchased and the photos. Please be aware of this in advance. I believe it would become shinier if polished further, but some tarnished areas remain. Also, there are tape marks, similar to those from a label maker. Please check each image. It can hold up to 7 business cards. *The photos and pen in the image are not included. This is not a new item. It has a used feel, like an antique finish. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive about such things.
