Looks very like a Wax Zesta container, or, as suggested, for sewing needles or similar.
Nice bit, anyhow.

Not an old lipstick without the lippy is it? I could be wrong, I WAS wrong once........... back in 1968

it has somthing solid in there about half way down.

it has a ribbed edge on it from what i can see down inside. it wont slide as the case is all dinted.

I'd say it's an Helena Rubenstein lipstick case.

its got that thingy accross the top. and nothing to screw the lippy out.

Short vestas???
Didn't you say it had a serrated area??Vesta cases have them to be used as a striker.

[weisyboy]

there is a serater edge around teh thingy inside duno why thow.

it looks like a perice of kit someone would carry in ther saddle bag or similar.

this property belonged to my great uncle they ran dary cattle and lgged the place so i could have been lost whay back and only now resurfaced.

Matches? Pull one out quickly and it lights on the serrated bit?

R surely stands for Rex, must have belonged to King Edward
