Antique Harriet Hubbard Ayers Brass Compact Cosmetic Sliding Case Rare!

Description

Any information would be appreciated. I can't find this item anywhere. I'm guessing it's something that contained some type of cosmetic. However I'm guessing it's going to be pretty rare anyway. It open on the slide on the side. It would probably work great if it was cleaned or oiled. Please use the pictures provided to ascertain your own opinion about this particular item. Feel free to contact me with any questions, prior to bidding. Thanks
