    my brother found this in our yard this arvo.

    its a brass thingy with a lid that comes off.

    there is a thing accross the opening.

    there is sompthing solid in the botom not sure what.

    the are initials on the bottom either an R or Y depending on how you look at it.

    Looks very like a Wax Zesta container, or, as suggested, for sewing needles or similar.
    Nice bit, anyhow.

    I'd say it's an Helena Rubenstein lipstick case.

    it has somthing solid in there about half way down.

    it has a ribbed edge on it from what i can see down inside. it wont slide as the case is all dinted.

    its got that thingy accross the top. and nothing to screw the lippy out.

    Didn't you say it had a serrated area??Vesta cases have them to be used as a striker.

    Matches? Pull one out quickly and it lights on the serrated bit?

    R surely stands for Rex, must have belonged to King Edward
