It's silver, but a subdued color. The photos look dark, but it's not that dark, and has an antique-like finish. I bought it at a department store 30 years ago and it's been kept in a drawer ever since. I think there was a limited edition for the anniversary, but I've forgotten the details. (I think there were various items in the series, such as fountain pens and pocket watches.) It's unused, but has been stored at home.
