Old Pill Box?

[MT Digger]

Any clues as to what this is? I thought maybe a pill box of some sort and was also told by an old timer that it was an old opium box.

Honestly, I could have sworn that horse was dead.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll shoot it again before they get here.

I'm with the guy who said it was a motorcycle. OOOPS! Just reread the post, so changed my mnd, it's not a Vespa. Dang! Monty

A tisket...a tasket...I put my pills in a casket.
Then when I'm cold and need some heat,
I strike my match on a dead horse's feet.

The horse was dead;
They beat it still.
Some said, "A match!"
And some, "A pill!"
Thus the controversy raged.
Neither side could be assuaged.
Then came a miracle one day:
The horse got up and walked away,
Clearly disgusted by the strife.
"I'm dead," he said. "Now get a life."

At one time, small wooden matches were sometimes called vestas, especially in Great Britain and Commonwealth nations. Cases, or "match safes," used to hold such matches were also known as vestas.

Does it have a loop for a chain? I was watching a program a a week or so ago and they had something very similar to that and it was used to hold perfume for ladies. There was very interesting info on it I think it waas Antiques Road show I saw it on.
