I have no idea what it was used for, it seems like an old smokeing like..tray? The boxes are silver or whatever it is on the outside and wooden on the inside, and there is a lighter as well.
What did you accomplish today?

The inside would probably be mahogany. You could dampen it down to keep smokes from b3ing too dry. Smoking stuff hit the skids a while back but is rebounding a bit on account of ghanja.

Just responding to the first pic (tired, just got in). Looks like it is nice shape. Is the lighter locked up? That will happen if it is stored with a flint. You can drill it out by hand with the right sized drill bit (3/32?). That will unlock the flint wheel. You can brush the remainder off the wheel with a stiff bristle brush or very soft metal brush or a file card.
Then get some opium.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but the thing clicks and it comes out of the case like so

I use to have one of those Asian musicbox ashtrays. Got it from a thrift store for cheap.

Does it make a spark? Is there a brand name under the insert?

Go to sleep mister, if you're on later I can post more for sure. Because I'm working right now anyways, and maybe he will leave so I'm not sneaking around.

No, it looks like some kind of rope is in it? Like an oil lamp rope I suppose. Probably how the fluid got to the thingy I guess.

I wouldn't be surprised. His grandmothers liked to go to yard sales OFTEN. So the cool stuff is mixed with costume and novelty stuff and my eyes aren't trained to any of it

That's the wick. If it is unburnt, then it is unused.
Take a peek at the bottom of the flint-wheel. The flint is probably corroded to it so it will not turn. Need to fix that. Not a big deal. Flint is soft, flint-wheels hard. Unscrew the smaller screw on the bottom and get up in there with a drill bit.

OH okay, gotcha. And I always look for enscriptions on the bottom but there is none on that one, just a very dead spider. So to me that means novelty, but im sure one of those hipster antique shops would buy a lot of the novelty stuff I come across since it's old. I'll tag you with the bell later. I think it's an old Catholic Church bell but I could be wrong.

A head shop with a cool owner. Good ashtrays are fine things to have. Even for dabbers. They won't use the lighter though. But it looks cool.
It might be post-war Japanese. He travel there?

You know what's weird. We are finding a bunch of shit that is made in Japan, like those small jewelry boxes, silverware etc. and he WAS in the navy...the grandfather I mean. Wow I totally didn't think that through. I just assumed his family liked imported Japanese shit at one point
