Hunted an old homesite dated from 1901 the other day. Didn't find a whole lot to get excited about. The only good find was what I thought for sure to be an old pocketwatch. When I got home and started to clean it up I pushed the button on the top and unbeleivably the lid popped open. The hinge works just fine too. Unfortunately the dial on the inside has come loose. It was made by the Iszard Warren Co. out of Philadelphia. They only manufactured these in 1910 and 1911. Pretty cool find.
