Did it have ashes in it?
No but lid is double covered with small round hole?
Shape of a Japanese bell?
HI but it has a bottom, I will add photo of top, kind of interesting!
Maybe someone made a can out of a bell!? Inside writing says Campbell's Tomato Soup!???? Joking!!
It's a reworking of the Japanese temple bell shape into a box. A biscuit tin?
Google: japanese bell biscuit tin
Go to images.
Very collectible imho.
It was a bell! Yes, maybe lost its value! I did not pay much for it. But now I know my other bell is great Jap. quality with wood frame and dragon eyes I posted it earlier! take a look!
