Ok, here is a nice little mining antique I found online.
I will give the location of where I got this pic when its guessed. It can also be purchased online. ;) Do you know what they use to use this for?

Close....but nope. :D
The gentleman who bought this was told it was a whiskey or powder flask, but he has since been told different. ;) -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
