    Do we get to see the inside?
    Does the lid swivel to the side?
    Do both sides open?

    it's not the lid or base that moves, but there's a latch that looks like the corrigated center panel swings open.....

    On, 2nd thought, the center swings open to far to hold something loose like tobacco......so it's a container of some sort............what fun !!!

    I am compelled to admit I voted clock because I have a Tiffany clock in the same form (not design). Is that cheating???

    Oh, the moral dilemma's of this world that cause unremitting guilt..............

    I will gladly help with your moral dilemma, just send me the Tiffany clock and all will be ok. No, please, it is the least I can do, there is no need to thank me ;)
