Could be used for so many things. This piece would also look fabulous as decor on a table, bathroom counter, bookshelf, credenza, you name it. 4.25"L x 1.75"W x 3 7/8H. 3.5"L x 1"W inside compartment dimensions.
Minor wear consistent with use and age. There are a couple small chips as shown in photos. The main one is underneath the lid, which you cannot see when closed.
