Hi, This is a trick opening vesta match safe, generally made approx. 1890, these particular ones are interesting as they were passed around a gentlemans club and you would have to work out how to open. So, they lock, and sometimes if you shake them you can hear a small ball bearing inside that has to slot in the right hole so the top can be slid back. I hope this helps.
