I have no idea

It is made out of Brass, just a little bigger than a Morgan Silver Dollar. The opening has threads on the inside. It is a little smooshed but still a neat find. If you know what it is please let me know.

Could it be a perfume container with the basket weave pattern? or maybe snuff? HH

Does anyone else have a guess?

My guess would be something dry was kept in it. Maybe some type of spices or even tobacco. Don't know but it is a pretty cool find! Tennessee digger

I think it is kinda odd that they would use a Brass bottle instead of a glass bottle but Perfume canister appears to be the consensus.

Thanks for all the reply's
