Passin' it on

I took my grandson out hunting today. He's 4. "He" found 81 cents in clad and "we" found what looks to be an old cosmetic tin. It's round with a fancy relief top and it's hinged. It's about 1 and 3/4 inches in dia. After a little cleaning I think it says Princess Pat on the front. The contents look like they are still inside. It may be copper as it has that verdi green thing goin' on. I dug this in a hamlet near here with the oldest structures from 1872 but not sure how old this thing is. Any ideas?

thanx,

And find he did, trash went in my bag and coins in his-totaled $1.82 and a 1939 wheatie. HH and enjoy spoiling him.

Yes you are correct. I pretty much know nothing about these things but I found one also. I is a makeup container. Years ranging 20's to 30's

of course this is just one example of the compact but you will get the idea.

Thanx Shooter.....

This is atypical of what I have. The lettering's a little different is all. I removed the makeup and cleaned it up. Pretty neat little item.
