    Hi,
    does anyone have any idea about this small apple purpose?
    There are no hallmarks on it except the letter PELT engraved in the bottom. The E has some kind of a star behind it.
    Thanks.

    Trinket box. Is the metal thick and heavy or thin and lightweight? It kind of looks like it might be pewter. It would be nice if you'd show a picture of the marks on the bottom, hint hint.

    5 cm is about 2 inches. Oh that is tiny! Maybe a ring box.

    Maybe just a decor item to set out or perhaps to hold teeny tiny trinkets.

    It is very soft and thin. It actually moves and loses shape if I'm not careful.
