I am not sure what this is or what time era it is. I think it is a flask of some kind. I know there is someone out there who knows what this is. All comments are welcome.

My first guess is a powder flask -- must have had an attachment for pouring the powder out -- http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7DKUS_en&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=powder+flask&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
Seems pretty small for a powder flask. Maybe a handy place to keep snuff?
Hm it looks like a holder of matches to me. The square patch on the lid, does it look like it has any strike marks?
My first thought was snuff or tobacco also.
portable ashtray?
????
vinaigrette maybe
