Interesting Find
I was recently given this miniature. I have searched the internet until I can't see straight and can find nothing similar. It looks to me like a mini tool box or a coca cola carrier. It is 1 1/4 inches long, 3/4 inch tall and gold color. The only marking is a decorative scroll on the front. When the "key" is put in the slot, the bottom part slides out. Also the handle moving to the left will make it slide out. Due to the lack of gold stamping marks, I'm sure it is not valuable but I would love to know what it is. evy Sorry the photos are so large!

I might be wrong, but looking at your picture, it looks more like tarnished silver than gold. A jueweler or pawn shop could tell you what the metal might be using a chemical test.....
