Antique Tole Painted Foo Dog Box for "Future Prosperity" turkey despite looking for them all

despite looking for them all of the time

It also allows for full exposure of the gorgeous

This beautifully proportioned box I found filled with vintage matchbooks and a few newspaper clippings

so it could definitely be put into action again

Antique Tole Painted Foo Dog Box for "Future Prosperity" turkey despite looking for them allHow could I resist the hand painted golden foo dog on the lid of this old tin box, promising future prosperity? Perhaps used as a snuff box, perhaps for something else, now useful for all sorts of little things. Late 19th century or so I believe, and though the lettering of "prosperity" is pretty faint, the dog is very radiant gold! 3 1 4 x 2 1 2 x 11 16 and in good condition, tin opens easily and closes tight.
