Tennessee123, Cool. :-)
Those numbers on the bottom are big clues, because they're USPTO patent numbers.
I had trouble reading all of the digits, but hit paydirt on the second one:

So, yes, a powder receptacle circa the 1920s.
Here's the previous application:

If you can provide a better picture of the patents, or decipher them yourself, we'll probably get more insight into this item.
Thank you so much!!
Tennessee123, You're welcome. :-)
I was hoping to be able to decipher/find that newest patent on the top of the list, but no joy thus far (so OK, I got side-tracked by an intriguing old VSM post).
At any rate, that second newest patent does give quite a bit of detail about the powder receptable, and it's no ordinary container.
