[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 9880892, member: 147"]Hi all, I found this today at my local flea market, it was too cute to pass up at $3.00. I did Google word search for "corn cob porcelain pill box", Google image and Worthpoint searches but nothing was quite a match. There were other pill boxes but different from this one. It measures 2-1/2" long (6-1/2cm). The corn kernels are shiny glazed pale yellow, the husk is tan bisque. The metal looks bronze colored probably brass. There are no marks on the metal or the porcelain. The inside is unglazed white. Am I right in thinking this is a pill box? If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!
