Hello!
This is my first time posting, so I hope I'm doing it right. I picked this up at Goodwill for $2.99 but I can't figure out what it is! I think it is hammered copper. The top and bottom are the same size. One side has a hinge, while the opposite has two handles that look as if they are to carry it with. On the other two sides are flip up "locks." I say that term very loosely because they are not at all secure. The only idea I had was a bed warmer, but there are no burn marks of any kind, inside or out and it is definitely not watertight. I would say it is about 12" x 12" and about 6" deep at the middle. What do you think?
