A stainless steel box, 3" wide x 5" long X 2"deep, hinged along the short edge. When opened, in the lid two oblongs of metal pop up, one each end, with a semicircle in the top edge of each, big enough to support a fat cigar between them along the length of the lid. The base part of the box is boxed over, with a screwed long narrow lid running down the centre.
When this is removed there is revealed a pencil wide depression the length of the centre of the box, containing what looks like it might have been wadding for lighting. (It looks charred). There is no access to the rest of the base, except maybe through the screwhole of the long lid.
The box is surprisingly heavy for its size.
A friend showed it to me today and I had no camera to take pics. She has no idea what it may be, but it has initials on the lid in flowing Edwardian type script, so it must have been a personal item.
What could it be?
