Found in central Nc at a homesite from ~1920s. About the size of a snuff can lid, either brass or copper. Google search isn’t helping. Ideas?

The "ReJois" brand name was used for face powder and compacts manufactured by the
Furst-McNess Company, which was founded in Freeport, Illinois, in 1908.

• Furst-McNess Company: The company was known for direct sales, with "McNess Men" selling products across the United States via horse and buggy and automobiles. The "ReJois" face powder was one of their cosmetic offerings, with advertisements appearing in the late 1920s.
• Compacts: The "ReJois" compacts are considered rare vintage items, typically described as being in the Art Deco style from the 1920s. They were often small, silver-toned cases designed for loose powder and included an inner lid, puff, and mirror.
• Lid Design: Information about a specific, complex history related only to the compact's "lid" design is not available in the provided sources. The value of these compacts generally comes from their rarity, the intact original powder, puff, and box, and the overall Art Deco design, rather than a unique or patented lid mechanism.
