Default Any ideas on this wierd thing?
Found this today. Waited till I got home to open it hoping it was some kind of coin holder of course but that was not to be. Hey, can dream can't I? lol
I can't even guess what it may have been. Maybe a locket that had photos?
Only thing I can think of.
Photo of front, back and inside.
Hinged with a loop.
Very odd.
Thanks

It does look like a coin holder.

How about a snuff box? Maybe but I dont think so. Just an idea.

It kinda Looks like an antique pill locket. I've seen something similar. It was used to hold medicine for easy emergency access(usually worn as a necklace). that's my two cents worth.

Looks like a coin holder to me. Too bad it wasn't filled with coins!

Great find!
