✅ SOLVED Mysterious Glass Box - E Pluribus Unum / Eagle, any suggestions?

[Minrelica]

My friend picked this box up at a sale just out of curiosity, thinking it would be easy to research but it hasn't been easy at all.. I've tried a few obvious searches but found nothing so far..

Sorry for the semi-bad cell phone pics.. I do not have the box in front of me at the moment but from what I remember, it's probably about 3" x 3" or close to it.. Any suggestions?

not sure of age or company, this one looks like it was prob made by the same co.

Grandma had several. They were used for good jewelry, paste jewelry, sewing stuff, junk in general. I played with them as a child, sold them years ago...

Thank you, CW.. That looks like the right ID.. I would have just figured it was a generic trinket box but the inside is what was throwing me off.. It looked as though something special was inside originally

ask your friend if it has a co. name stamped on the box, so as to research the co. for more info
