Vintage cigarette case.... sweet!

[BigWaveDave]

Hunted a 1922 house today, it was a clad farm and landfill, tough hunting throughout, but managed to score this little beauty....
When I pulled it from the hole, I had visions of 4 gold rings from the 1730's being inside.
But when I got it home, all she had to offer was dirt.
Convinced it had to be silver, turns out its just a pretty piece, but not silver.


Also managed 3 wheats, 5 matchbox's, a knife, and some other crap.
Thanks for looking!

Never have Jeff....
There was an outpost here in Ft. Myers during the civil war, but it was pretty quiet. I read that there was a skirmish, but that was really just a pissin contest between a couple of drunk soldiers and a Seminole Indian. If there is any civil swag here, it's buried beneath the city....
I have found WW1 stuff, but not much....guys came home from "over there", and lost buttons, cufflinks, and even a ring.

[Trezurehunter]

Silver or not Dave, its a very nice vintage piece. But I do know what you mean about hoping for the rings or coins inside.

Sweet find Dave. I bet that will have a prominent place in your display area. It's way prettier than the one I dug.
