I was given this box several years ago. It is made of a fibrous material. I liked it, but did not think it was build-worthy. I used it to hold nuts and saddles. It recently caught my eye and I thought to pair it with this red lettered yard stick. Came out a big smile player. Narrow neck - just over an inch - works fine for me. I like the old fiber boxes and I like piezos just fine.
