My father brought this back from WWII. I have no idea what it is, but it's one of my treasures.

The side closure slides back and forth. The small opening is so tiny. My dad told me it was a pill box, but the pills must have been very small.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Maybe a matchsafe - striker is the ribbed part

Thank you aghcollect. I can see that it is possibly a pocket match safe.
