New find for today

[mensite]

Well the weather was 56 and sunny.I thought i would go out and try my luck.I went on my dads farm where there use to be an old House.It was like back in the 30 or 40's.I begin to look around and hit a few good signals.I found some jar lids and a lot of nails.After about a couple of hours i hit this signal.Didn't really know what it was.Here are a couple of pictures and i still don't know what it is.It seems to be made from copper.And when i opened it it had some paper in it.It was in pretty bad shape.On the paper it had one word on it(Book) was the word.I'm thinking maybe its for holding matches.It seems to be worn on a chain around your neck.I am surprise that the paper was readable after all those years.The house was not there when we first moved here 40 years ago.you guys have any info on this . Thanks johnny

i think it is the remains of a rolling machine for cigarettes.

Or a cigarette box

Interesting find!
I'm thinking matchbox too. It seems too small for cigarettes to me.
