Little old tin?

[scotto]

..or a cap to something? It says "Juliette" on it, not sure what it is. Sounded off as a penny, and looks copper-colored. Found by an old house site with Fossis.

I did some research on it and came up with nothing. Good luck

Maybe it's an old tobacco tin lid.I can find a reference to Juliette brand tobacco from the early1900's from Georgia,but that's all the info I could find.Nothing specific.What's the underside look like? It's not a screw type lid is it?

 

[countrygrammy]

whats the under side look like ?it could be a lid to tobacco tin

 

[scotto]

It's not threaded, it has a lip like it may have snapped on top of something, or a bottom the same size. Did they make snuff in little tins?

I've seen some too, but they are pretty thin...this is thick and hard to bend.

 

[txkickergirl]

I think it is a snuff lid also

"Juliette" great name for a condom, maybe Romeo is better

Make up cover?

 

[Montana Jim]

I tried all the obvious stuff... makeup, condoms, snuff & tobacco, powder, nuthin comes up. :P

The name does come up with 1840ish silver (silver ware) patterns... but nothing about these lids even comes close.

Lid off a cosmetic container!

Tried that too... (reference below)

Nicely done TomNWMI... if that were mine I would feel confortable calling it a face powder compact tin cover.

Very cool, thanks. I just emailed them to see if they can send me a pic of the tin, I'll post it when I get it.
