[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 254705, member: 360"]Definitely a card-case for calling/business cards. I'd say late Victorian or Edwardian era. If it is English, then the hallmarks - and there WILL be hallmarks if it's English - should be found punched on the inside rim in a straight line. If it's not English, any hallmarks there are would be punched somewhere on the body or the lid. Sometimes English marks were also punched on the outside body/lid as well. I've seen that done, too.[/QUOTE]
