I posted this in Society & culture but perhaps it wasn't the best place. Can anyone help please? We have had this lovely old box for years and years. It just sits on a cupboard and gets junk stuffed into it until it's full and then I empty it and we start all over again! It's 12.5 inches tall and 8.5 inches diameter (31 x 22 cms). It's lined with a lovely burgundy coloured felt. The clasp was never there so I don't know what it was like I'm afraid. It has a carrying strap on the lid. I'm pretty certain it's wood. At first I thought - hat box, but don't you think it's rather thin for that. I'd love to know what it is before I fill it with junk again.

I think you'll give a better picture if you take photo's of when its opened and from different angles! Don't know what it's worth but it does look like It's worth something!

Thanks bigfoot. I'll try to do that now.
Nice summery looking garden by the way!
Perhaps its a vintage wine cooler box - has to have been for carrying something delicate as its lined in felt material.

Should be some more pics now. Thanks bigfoot - I do love my garden. Den - I didn't think of that one.
I'd go with hat box, for a top hat perhaps.

Fantastic garden by the way!!

Barmaid - I don't think the diameter is large enough for a hat-box. Thank you for your kind comment on my garden.

perhaps that's the link - sorry
I think it's a military hat box. It would hold a 'busby'.
I have a box similar to that - it is for the old fashioned stiff collars. Mine is leather and not quite so deep though.
I have no idea but will my good look never end?
i am the 1.000.000 visitor once again i just can't believe it.

I still thinks it's rather small for a hat. Yes collars - that's a possibility too. Mick - I'm afraid I don't have a prize for you!
