What are the three numbers associated with each slot? I see one slot has 25 but I cant make out what the other slot numbers are.

Here are some closeups. It's about a,quarter of an inch thich. It came apart pretty tough. I don't believe you could have put coins in without taking it apart.

Now I'm speculating if it could have been worn on a chatelaine and the pierced design cover is purely decorative.

Nice closeups. ANy chance those rim sections slide out so you can lay quarters dimes and nickles inside the container. The slits are there so you can see how much change there is in the container. Dont think, as others have said, you can put money in the slits. Change purse for sure.

Surety you are on the right track with it definitely taking penny nickel quarter. The size of the circles corresponds the the size of the coins. Nickel bigger than penny and quarter bigger than nickel. Hope we can get this one.......bugging me to death!

Darn, it's marked around the 25 slot as PAT. AP.....? Which may be Pat Applied For or Pat April..., but not enough to make it helpful. Too bad, a patent date would have made it easier.

I apologize.

IT IS... heh... An Art Nouveau coin dispenser...
Also type of compact" so to speak.

Yours is broken... Would have been worn as fob... Chatelaine... or whatever IMO.

Anytime...
I don't spend much time on the "what is it's" these days...
but when bored... or I see a "plea" title in Active Forums ... I take a look at the threads.

Besides ...
I have to give other users a chance :P
