Old Pill Box??
I found this metal box near an old home site. It's about the size of a half dollar & looks like it's tin. There must be so copper in it somewhere because of the color & greenish corrosion. There is a hinge which makes me think it may be a pill or snuff box. Any Ideas?

Congrats on the very nice finds! I am gonna hazzard a guess as to a compact? I have one I found. Yours looks to be kinda similar. Good hunting, Beale.
