    Hello wise owls,
    Any clues as to what this little chappie is all about?
    He is 8cm long and made from some early plastic.
    The base twists off to reveal a cavity.

    Thanks team! 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg

    He could be a needle case, depending on how long the body section is,

    That could be long enough for fine embroidery needles. He's very jaunty in the top hat.

    Hmmm, could well be celluloid.
    The hat doesn't come off, so no thimble.
    Needle holder sounds like a probable use though!
    Thanks.
