    Hi all. This is a decorative metal box my great grandmother used to keep her sewing materials in. The lid seems to be insulated but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what this would have been originally used as or have any thoughts about it's origin? There are no markings on the box at all. Thank you!

      Maybe a milk box?

      How big is it? The scenes depicted on it seem to look interesting, at least...?
