Thank you, Rose. I will place my prize under my non-existant Christmas tree and open it on Christmas Day (no tree this year, as we won't be here  ;D )

Neat! My mother has one in plastic which she keeps in her capacious handbag just in case... hers has travelled the world with her. (And I still didn't recognise yours Rose!  :blush:)

 :tks: this was an Aunt of mine.  i think it has some real age to it, as if you look at the container it comes in, its that old covered cardboard feel.  The snap on the case, is an real old looking snap, as it has a hole right through it.  the case reminds me of camera cases from like the 50's or so.  I can find no mark on it....but it is neat....This Aunt was the same one where my other post on Silverware 1750 with the lion passant....so relatives all over the world (like...Alsace, France, Scotland, Canada, Hungary, USA, etc, etc....)  :-\

We had a plastic one too, that collapsed, and there was a spot where you could keep your pills too....but that is long gone...

I think this is *fun* to have a mystery thing...
