Tin Box...

[Swartzie]

Found this neat little tin box while creek hunting in Ohio. Just wondering if anyone may know what it was used for? The sides are pretty ornate and it appears to have had a hinged lid at one time. Not sure what the metal is.

Thanks.

Maybe a cigarette box?

Are you sure it is tin? Does it attract a magnet?

Neat find

Possibly a case for a bible or a diary?
