Yup!! That's exactly what it is. Except yours is missing the cutters.
LOL!! I knew I could count on you to answer my question!! Thanks AJ. I knew it was something like that, but I didn't know all the precise details.

I'm aware of certain 'drug paraphernalia', for want of a better word - like absinthe spoons and opium pipes etc. Never heard of anything for...
No silver needle-case that I've seen (and I've seen a few!) was ever THAT small, though. Are you sure that's what it is? I don't see how you'd fit...
