Age....no idea. I've seen similar ones currently for sale.
Autograph books were popular a bit over 100 years ago. You'd get your friends and neighbors, teachers, etc to write something in it for you. The...
That 80s Pink frame, as others said, doesn't do anything any favors. Probably somebody trying to make it fit into a room.
If it's solid wood, odds are it's oak. At least if it's an American machine.
One reason for a lazy slob like me to leave it alone.:p Oddly, vintage pieces are easier to sell with the tarnish on them. A vintage buyer wants...
I'll have to get pictures up if I ever get that far. Found an antique of the past for $1 - a pearlware jelly mold. Talk about moldy oldies! But...

The standard is 10x, but I have everything up to a 40x handy. And a rug/stamp magnifier to shoot through. It folds up and unfolded forms a fixed...
That may eventually de-skunk (or de-fish) on their own. Eventually. I don't think galaith comes apart at the seams like celluloid.
Once upon its life, it had a lid. I'm no expert on Chinese pottery, but I can get that far.
I think it realy is a tin opener. My childhood next door neighbor used to love British hard candy that came in a tin with a tight fitting lid...

I'd keep my eyes peeled for the former and my ears peeled for the latter.

Separate names with a comma.
