Vague I Know But Would Anyone Have An Idea

[weecalf]

I have a little square wooden item .Im reluctant to call it box but it does have a sliding lid when slide open it has a round hole drilled in it with an opening of .25".It is approx. 1.5 " square by 1.25" deep .on the top is a wooden inlay of lighter coloured wood in it approx .25" wide .If you can imagine it would hold a rolled up tape measure allowing it to be pulled through the opening when the lid is slid closed. I would imagine it would have an age . I will give any other details if any one has any idea .Thanks for reading this

I still insist that it is a receptacle that Russian spies used to conceal a tiny Enigma machine whilst operating in the Brighton area during the Crimean war.

I wondered about snuff - the links to eBay certainly suggested it might be.

I still say that it's a porta-potty for Tom Thumb.
