    I need help identifying an item I cannot find anywhere.

    I found this tin years ago and it ended up in a box. I need help identifying it's purpose or a name. It has a handle and these two slits on top...

    Thanks!

    This is from Google:

    "This black lidded metal canister resembles vintage Toleware or Japanese lacquerware, featuring hand-painted floral motifs and a side handle"

    Thank you for your response. I saw a similar identification but never could figure out what the slits on top was for.

    Thanks again.

    I think it is to place spent matches in? Perhaps?
