What is this?

It's a small container of some sort.. Too small for matches, lipstick, pretty small for pills too

I'll say It IS Lipstick.

? They came in All Sizes. I'v seen smaller

Just Pull it Apart.

There May even be a Brand name inscribed on the Top or Bottom

Remember those old anise nasty tasting things....small black like pills that tasted terrible...I think they were for your breath or something....could it be a container for those

 

[Rich in Houston]

Maybe this will give you a beter idea of the size.

I think it's too small for lipstick or pills but I could be wrong again

10:30 PM here, I'll try to Remember to Look Tomorrow.

I have one Like it, Or Very Similar Somewhere.
I THINK I put it in a Half Dollar Coin Holder

I don't Know If they came in Small Kits or what,
But I Stand by LIPSTICK?

Night Wind, its a US Army button with "The Great Seal of the United States". The military adopted this design in 1902 and its still used today, except they're not brass and seldom marked. Its fun to find the old ones, but they're still only worth a few bucks. Still a good find!
