Sorry I did not post the pic before, I didn't think Antiques was the place to post it because I know it's old but probable not Antique. Could it be Trench Art? It's all made of what I believe hand carved wood.
The way the lid opens, because it has no hinges, It appears to have something the size of a pencil lead through it instead of hinges. It is 7" long and 3" wide. Every piece is made of carved wood except for the pencil lead put through it for the lid to open and close. I believe it is for cigarettes since the birds beak is to open for toothpicks.
When you push the button sticking out on the back the birds head will go down and pick up a cigarette, when you pill it out it will let you take the cigarette. The lid will open so it might hold an entire pack of cigarettes.
