Need help id'ing thingy

My son went out last night and came home with this thingy..
Its kinda neat...Its hinged on the back side and there are 2
little comparments that open up...It has 2 little hooks on the
top and and 2 little hole where maybe a chain could of been attached.
I thought maybe it was for cigarettes...Not really sure...any idea's...

Thanks ,Headhunter

Regular cigarettes on one side, left-handed cigarettes on the other?

Re: Need help id'ing thingy

could it be a note book like the ones people use to have next to their house front door. For a visiter to leave a note, if you wern't home or mayby a photo booklet type of doodad!?

Another possibility is a trick wallet.... you know the dollar's there then it disappears. The other guesses were great too.

Is it completely metal? Looks like leather from here. It looks really old to me..I think too old for business card holder. Maybe a photo display? I think too flat for cigarettes. Who knows?

Very cool find!

Looks like a note card holder with a pencil or pen holder at the top. Used by traveling door-to-door salesmen.

Re: Need help id'ing thingy

The thingy is made of copper. I like the idea of note card holder...
The two copper loops on the top would hold a pencil...I've been
looking all over on the net for something like it...but nothing yet..
Keep the idea's coming...

Thanks to all...

I guess there ain't many fly fishermen here.
It's a fly box for holding hand tied fishing flies. There would of been a sort of foarm or leather material inside to hook the flies to.

Good one Lumix......When we don't know what it is.....we can only guess. Now he can look it up and see a good pic somewhere!

Re: Need help id'ing thingy

No thanks! You I D your own thingy! OH!! You mean that thingy!

I Imagine Lumix is right. But a shot in the dark here, could it be a census takers note pad or poll taking pad holder? HH

Re: Need help id'ing thingy

Here is a newer card holder that looks similar, it also has a notepad & pen.

Re: Need help id'ing thingy

I agree with the fellow that sugested it might be a fly holder for fishing, my grampa had a couple very similar looking, had cloth on inside covers to hook flys into.
