    My father brought this back from WWII. I have no idea what it is, but it's one of my treasures.

    The side closure slides back and forth. The small opening is so tiny. My dad told me it was a pill box, but the pills must have been very small.

      Maybe a matchsafe - striker is the ribbed part

      Thank you aghcollect. I can see that it is possibly a pocket match safe.
