This is the sort of thing I dream about finding when I go out MDing.
 

Maybe a match safe
 

I think it's part of a chatelain. There were many types of items that hung on them. Yours looks like it may be a match holder. Congrats!
 

It's about time!!! How a gold coin only takes 2 days to get banner and your find took over 2 months us a complete head scratcher. :dontknow:

Don't get me wrong a gold coin deserves banner but a unique gold find like this is just incredible.
 

Congrats on the well deserved and overdue BANNER !!!
 

Congratulations on finding a beautiful GOLD piece! Way to go! :thumbsup:

Based on the size and overall shape, it's definitely a needle case. It would have been suspended from a ladies chatelaine along with various other items. It is in absolutely AMAZING condition!
 

Awesome gold find and a very intriguing piece! Congrats on Banner! :thumbsup:
 

Shown below is a gold chatelaine with sewing accessories attached. Included are a thimble case, a bodkin case (big needle with a large eye), a needle case, a scissors case and a small vinaigrette.

Thank you all very much for the banner votes!
 

If it didn't have the bracelet I would say needle holder, but I think that is a Match Holder. Either way thats an AWESOME find!!!

It's not a bracelet, it's a chain to attach it to a chatelaine. There is no spring ring, it's a jump ring or a split ring.

The size is not correct for a match vesta. It would only hold 2 or 3 matches.

it is a needle case.
 

must have been a wealthy person or a person of stature to be carrying around needles or pills or whatever in solid gold.MUST BE NICE !!
 

That is just amazingly beautiful! Great going!
