Insid eof the top looks like a light weight tin !! Just regular paint or on a celluloid sheet,,not enamel !! Or at least not the fired on enamel !!  How big is it ??  Anything on bottom ?? Numbers ??

Size please.  Looks like a cigarette box, they were quite often lined in wood, but I will wait til I get some dimensions before committing to that.  Don't think the top is enamel either.  GG

Looks like a cigarette box to me too , my eyes say post-war Japan , but not for sure on that one .

Sure seems like it is in pretty good shape , rustyattic .

That is in excellent shape.  The bottom looks new.  Someone must have cared for it well.
