Vintage/antique small metal box?? English?

[koolaidsmile]

I found a small old metal box with some essay marks on the front! It looks English but I don't know. Does anyone know what it is?what it's used for. It's about the size of 4 nickels put into a square. I have my thoughts but don't know for sure or the origin of it??

Pill box, but those "essay" marks are eluding me.

Or a cigarette box maybe?

Quite the right size for a pill box, though.
