    I got this from the booty on weekend,with my other stash...why does it open this way? It sort of slides totally out xx

    It's quite small,about 4 inches down and three and a half length and the depth is about half an inch xx

    What is it for? Does it have a purpose?
    Thank you everyone x x

    Lovely, Bou, very nice, sleek design. I think it is a 1930s-40s cigarette box.

    Hi,
    They were very popular in the 1970s as a "stash" box for your marijuana.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    AJ, thank you...I thought maybe 30s ish...it's so cute ( and quite small! Which is good as it takes not much space so it can stay :O )

    It could go on a book shelf couldn't it? And wouldn't look out of place ( which would be handy if something norty was stashed in it)

    Of course it could, it is beautiful, so it should be on display.:) Nice warm colour wood, and nice design.

    Greg and Brad and I make 3 !Perfect for joints. I had one almost exactly like that that had a separate slot for a teeker and you kept your pre broken up pot in the other side. Ah the 80s . :)
