      You don't give any reference to size?
    2. Manikin Manikin, 12 years ago
      Looks like a powder compact for a woman to me ?
    3. sodbuster70, 12 years ago
      sorry on size reference i will double check but i believe he said it was the size of a half dollar piece perhaps slightly bigger there was no fragments of mirror within it because that was my guess too Manikin.

      I agree with Manikin or could be a pill box.
    5. ATTWOOD ATTWOOD, 12 years ago
      Can you take pics inside and underneath.looks to be a pill box
    6. Manikin Manikin, 12 years ago
      If only size of half dollar I am thinking pill box als0 since you did not mentio size and need to see inside also :-)

      maybe it held a face powder...white.or a rogue
    8. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 9 years ago
      it might have held just a mirror too.
