This item is either copper or brass. It measures appx 5″ tall by 3″ wide. It has a button that can be pushed to release the lid. The lid pulls up with the compartments shown in the picture. The only markings on the bottom say “Metallic Art Products Co. Pat. Pend.” I believe it is a cigarette dispenser but have no idea when it was made or who actually made it since I cannot find any information on the company. I found this at my grandparents house after they passed away and just want some information on it. Thanks!
