[QUOTE="sptsailing, post: 222024, member: 4307"]I found this metal box with a handle on it at a garage sale, but have never been able to find out what it is called. The person selling it had no idea where it came from, what it was called, or even why she had it. Stamped on the bottom is the text, "Wilcox S.P.Co. EPNS International S. Co. N 232 I S" Someone suggested it was used in bars for holding cigarettes. Two packs of playing cards also fit nicely. I uploaded the following photos, and am hoping that someone here can tell me what this thing is called, as I would like to sell it on eBay but cannot until I find out what it is. The starting price will be $1. It weighs just under 2 lbs.
