I've had this little plastic cylinder for quite a few years. Got it at an estate sale and I have never known what it is but it's pretty neat. It's almost as big as a 12 oz. can of Coke, but the Coke won't fit into it. It has a flat disk of a lid with what looks like a glue spot where something must have been attached in the past, as a knob or handle for the lid.
The arched handle on the body swivels on goldtone metal rings.
The plastic is VERY pearly. There is no lettering on it.
I truly don't know what it is. Maybe a little girl's purse? Some kind of vanity/boudoir/bathroom item? Certainly not a food storage item?
Have gotten to the point of being ready to clear it out but would like to list it as whatever it really is!
