Looks like the lid might have been silver plated.

Very nice and looks like it might be part of a dresser set.

KC will probably know something about it.

I've also seen these with a silver plated / sterling holder to keep them safely standing upright while sitting on the dresser.

A toothbrush holder ca. 1900. Nice! It's a beauty!

I think rather than a dresser set, this was part of a vanity travel set. In this travel case you can see a similar glass tube strapped in in photos 7 and 8.

Need to know dimensions please!

Yes and Yes!  Traveling Vanity toothbrush holder (if it is long enough).  However, I have seen them used for holding hatpins as well!

Shorter...for perfume vials, powders, etc.

Need to know dimensions please!

CLOSELY look around lid (silver part) for any markings/marks to identify it and let us know please!

This jar is 7.25 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide. I could not find any markings on it that would give me a clue to the maker or what it is.
