I'm VERY confident that this is a pill box. I found this at a homestead that has been occupied since the 1920s and feel that it is a bit to "girly" for a snuff box.
The box was found very shallow in some sort of cloth material and didn't need a lot of work to polish up. Along with the box there were a couple of wheats and some silver coins, so my guess is that I found a "change purse" of sorts. Nothing real special since the newest coin was 1945. I do know that it is plated since I went down to original metal during the cleaning phase (it didn't need a lot...).
The MAIN thing I am looking to find out is what type of rock is on top of this critter. The wife loves the box and wants to know what the rock is so that she can look for some more antiques that go along with it...
Any ideas?
