<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3739572, member: 66&quot;]OK I know what it probably held.&nbsp; Street scene disks.&nbsp; One popular souvenir in the early 1800&#039;s in Europe were heavy stock paper disks that would show famous locations on them.&nbsp; Some time they had the images on both sides and sometimes an image on one side and description on the other.&nbsp; Sometimes the disks would be separate and sometimes they would be joined at the edge in a line and then folded accordion style.&nbsp; They would typically be stored in either a round box or in a metal box that often appears to be a coin or medal. (I once saw a set stored in a &quot;box&quot; made from two 1797 British two pence.)&nbsp; That piece might hold say 10 disks in the &quot;compartment&quot; with would then swing into the &quot;cover&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
