This is marked "Jacobus Patent Nov 10 96". I take that to mean 1896. Seems they came up with a new model in 1903 so I would think somewhere between that time.
It is 2" tall by 1 7/8" across the lid and 1 1/2" across the base.
It fits neatly into a hole in my secretarial desk. This desk is used for many of my Matchbox car posts.
Very cool first time seeing one of these.
Thank you very much Caperkid. I'll email you tonight.
Thank you

Oh wow, that is very cool that this piece is with the original desk! I bet that doesn't happen very often...
