Jewelry?

Any ideas? Do you think it opens? Powder box?

Garabaldi, You say it opens, did you open it? I think it may contain a magnifying glass. J.M.O.

I did not say it opens, I didn't want to try and pry it open and break it. I thought I would try and get an ID before trying. It doesn't seem like it opens. It is rusted all around the edge.

Is the front and back in bossed leather it sure looks like it?

Your right, Sorry just re read your post.

From the pic it looks like it opens I found a "Princess Pat" makeup case last week and I wasn't sure it opened either. I carefully went around the edge with a razor knife and cut the rust and it popped open. Be careful though, you don't want to ruin it. Good luck..Rich.

Not sure if its leather bossed? Not sure what that is.
I may try that Rich.

Careful, it looks like there are (rivets)? that might go from the front to the back?

 

[Garabaldi]

If it opened it would have to slide because of the way the mount on top is attached, but now that Rich pointed out the rivets, I am sure it was not meant to open. There are three rivets and they go all the way through. Seems like it would have part of a horse decoration.

Maybe it is a watch fob looking at the size?
