Above is an extremely early table casket. Used to hold small trinkets. It is cast brass, measures 5" x 3 1/4" x 3". The velet interior is an old replacement, and as you can see the hasp was broken long ago.

Here is a very unusual and nice early piece. I've never seen a covered horn container. This one is in nice old condition.  It measures 4" tall and 2 7/8" in diameter. Found in Kentucky, I am sure its American.
