[QUOTE="Cereus17, post: 9611899, member: 84316"]Hi, I’m looking for any information that the members here can offer about this little hinged pill box (its approximate age, country of origin, materials…). I’m hoping that there are a few people in this group who are familiar with painted enamels / or with antique pill boxes who can guide me. The box is about 39 mm in diameter (just over 1 1/2 inches) and it’s about 17 mm high (just over 10/16 inches). I think the metal bottom is made of chased brass. (Is that the correct term?) My best guess is that the box dates from the mid to late 19th century and comes from Europe. (England? / France? / Austria?) Does that sound right? I've searched Google Images and eBay for similar boxes but I didn’t find much information that seemed useful. Thanks in advance for any information!
