Beap52 1,179 #1 Posted January 3, 2024 Ok Wheelhorse Wizards! I found this in my shop this afternoon. I figure some of you will know immediately what it's purpose is but I had to google it. It shows wear from being carried. The clues found in the third picture solved the puzzle for me. Happy New Tax Year! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 64,492 #3 Posted January 3, 2024 I was thinking something for keeping a piece of char for fire starting, or something for black powder reloading. I might have one of those in my black powder pouch, come to think of it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beap52 1,179 #13 Posted January 3, 2024 You all did good! From what I found on ebay, it's a match holder. It took me a bit to figure that it unscrews and opens up.
