Far Eastern Box

[dognose]

Hi,

Can anyone cast any light on the use of this Far Eastern box?:













Length 63mm, Width 48mm, Depth 30mm.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hello Trev.

If it is chinese you should consider it for transporting crickets.

Hi Dael,

Thanks for the suggestion, but there does not appear to be any form of ventilation in the box so I doubt it would be for keeping anything alive.

A two medicine pill box with a fu (bat) for luck on the outside. Is the partition soldered in place?

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your thoughts. The box is not in my possession, it belongs to a friend who has sent me these images, I'll contact him for further information and come back to you.

Hi Jim,

Yes, it is soldered in place.

Hi Trev.

Found a pretty similar one. Seems that the design is related to long/eternal life, so it is probably a medicine box.
