    Hi,
    I enjoyed the 70s and 80s too much. Looks like a cocaine box.

    I agree made for saccharine - all my friend's mother's were using it in their coffee. It was a little itty bitty pill shape that you used instead of sugar.

    Same here. Saccharin is the best guess. Salts don't have lids, or none of the ones I've ever seen did.
