Old tins found while bottle digging - SOLVED

[fistfulladirt]

I've found these tins while digging glass, dumps dating at least 100 years. One appears to be a compact, not sure about the other. Tin-colored is 3", gold is 2.5" Does anyone have a positive ID, and might there be any value?
Thanks, ffd

How about pictures of the bottoms? any words anywhere on them? They both appear to be compacts.

No markings anywhere. The bottoms are plain.

Neat finds fistfulladirt

Found this similar tin back in the Spring while it was still possible to get out and detect

The only marking I see is the Pat. Pend in the rim of the tin.

I think Lucas got the ID, but I'll search this a bit to see if it can be narrowed down.

I added a pic of the inside showing two circular stain marks. The two tabs could be part of the design to separate/secure two containers with make up or the like? QUICKSILVER may have it with compact

This Woodworth compact is very similar in design:

It looks like an exact match even down to the tiny rivet holes. The 2 circular stains makes it a compact. Great research.
