Dug this little piece yesterday. Has some scrolling. It says patent date August 21, 1912. Thanks a lot.

It's the top to a Richard Hudnut talcum powder shaker.

3 minutes to figure that out. Wow NHB, you never cease to amaze me. I assume that you recognized the "RH" logo.

I found a hudnut makeup tin once. Art deco style from the 1920s.

Congrats WNC based OP!

Indeed it's one of those logos that we've seen here several times (just enough to finally beat it into my brain)... so all I did was google Richard Hudnut 1912.

I am really impressed with this answer. Did you see this Richard Hudnut talcum powder shaker before?.
