I know, I know, I had big plans of painting. I haven't been back to my son's room to paint the ceiling yet. I got as far as scraping the ceiling. Then I thought since I was painting windows, the bathroom window could use a sprucing up. So I painted that instead. Then hubby decided that he was going to give the concrete basement floor a fresh coat of paint. So he did that. I had to make myself available for moral support. And it is so darn cold here, that I'm useless after the fire is lit and I park my *&^ on the sofa watching American Idol.
It's tin. It's got a hinged lid.
With a very unique clasp. I couldn't wait to get it opened.
Even the bottom has a design.
When I finally did get it opened, I found that it is rusted on both top and bottom. I wonder what is was meant to hold. It is from a bygone era. I was thinking maybe incense. Any other suggestions?

I can't imagine what it could have held. Someone's 'treasure', certainly.
And when American Idol is on, that's where you need to be. End of discussion!
Oddly, incense crossed my mind when I was looking at the photos, and then I saw you were thinking that, too. I really have no idea, but it's pretty! Scraping a ceiling? You should take the rest of the month off.
I'm still at your scraping the ceiling.....that just sounds hard to do...I'm getting ready to paint my bedroom but waiting for it to warm up a bit..But the ceiling will be left as is...it's that popcorn crap...Your little treasure is very cute...
