    Bought this years ago and has been in storage.

    It measures 12" long and the lid is 7" round

    When I bought it; I thought it was for cooking - now I'm not so
    sure.

    I have seen 2 that are similar and it said "silent butler"

    but what does that mean? What was it used for and about

    what time period?

    Appreciate any help.

    Thank you

      As I recall, a silent butler was used to dump small trash (cigarette butts etc) into so trash was out of sight & dumped later.
