    Can anyone take a guess on age of this pill box? Box stands about 1" tall and measures 1 1/2" across the opening.

    A little souvenir from Florence, Italy. Likely 1960s-ish.

    why Florence ? because it shows the French fleurs de lys ?

    That leather with the fleur de lis is typically Florentine. I do wonder if this held a little rouge pot though. It's the right size and more likely than pills.

    A few years back I had a vintage autograph book from the 1960's that had the same kind of pattern on the leather covers.

    I think Florentine leather items are charming.
