A watch cover, or small picture frame?

Found this MDing in a old yard.
It has a hinge on the back opening vertically, and tabs on the top too.

Let me know, thanks!

I would guess small picture frame rather than a watch case.

I'm leaning toward picture frame too. I can see a rectangular outline there.

Oh!! And the tabs are feet for it to stand! Picture frame it is!! Thanks!
