Two whatsits : Michelin Tire Tool and Copper? Case

[ToastedWheatie]

The Michelin tool 2 3/4" long. Has an engraving of the Michelin Man on one side, and is marked,"MICHELIN TIRE CO. MILLTOWN, N.J. MADE IN USA" on the other. Hollow.



The case appears to be copper. I thought it was a cigarette case until I cleaned the mud off of it. Measures 2 1/2" tall2" wide, and about 1 1/4" thick.
It has the two threaded rods on opposite corners. 5 holes in the bottom.I found some car parts in the areaso maybe this is off something of that nature?



Thanks for the help!

....The other thing might be a motorcycle battery box.

I agree with 4x4x4 on motorcycle battery box

The shape sure looks like one, but the dimensions mentioned would only hold a couple of D-cells.
