    This came from my grandfather. It is made of leather inside and out.

    There's nothing to identify what it is - no year or what is was for.

    Any thoughts/information are welcome.

    Thank you.

      Update: I found the Lambert and Butler brand has been taken over and I have sent an email to the owner asking if they may know or have an archive of L&B items to identify it. I will post an update.

      Thanks to all who took the time to have a look/read!

      I'm just now seeing this and am sorry if it is a 'CaptainObvious" response, but depending on its exact size it'd seem logical for it to be a holder for either wooden matches or a few of the actual cigarettes, perhaps an item intended for use in a fancy formal smoking lounge kinda environment...?? I'll be looking forward to hearing what you might learn from your email research about it! :-)

      Size? Looks like it may be a dice cup, for playing dice.

      @AnythingObscure - nothing was too obvious for me at the time. However, I think you are correct @Celine! A quick image search for leather dice cups yields items that are very similar. Nothing with any embossing, but I don't think there's any doubt. Thank you very much!

      If L&B come back with anything new, I will update.
