Little Celluloid Egg-Shaped Box floating market and with this charming bird

and with this charming bird on wispy branch painted on the lid

and one white spot on the surface

which I believe is what is was made for

Pewter Co c

and certainly a great conversation piece anywhere

Little Celluloid Egg-Shaped Box floating market and with this charming birdJust a lovely little egg box, I believe made of celluloid, threaded on the inside perfect for holding a few pills or some precious little thing inside. The color is a nice warm caramel and the box is in great shape; it screws closed easily and stays tight. 1 1 8" long x 7 8" across. I have not found a match of this, but would guess it dates from the the 1930s or 40s.
