This is a small hand painted antique toleware folk art pocket tin snuff / tobacco or trinket / knickknack box. The small domed pocket rectangular shaped tin box with rounded corners is made from tin and coated in red paint called toleware. Toleware has been popular from the 1700's through the 1900's that came in a huge variety of utensils, variations of sizes, and materials. The lid hinge is secured to the base with spots of lead showing on the inside and out. The hinge is slightly loose due to the side spots of lead on the inside of the hinge to the base has come loose but is secured by the lead rivets.
The domed top is hand painted in a multicolored quaint and charming 1800's period Folk Art style of geometric center patterns on a red background with a yellow striped border. The lead rivets combined with the quaint geometric folk are pattern suggests this piece dates to the early to mid-1800's.

This small box is about 3 3/16" long x 1 7/8" deep x 1 tall.
Weight is 1.7 oz. The top has a thin tin piece soldered to the inside that creates a lip on the top inside with a tight-fitting lid with the inside of the base, closes and stays closed properly, and would definitely hold snuff or tobacco securely inside.

This would be perfect as a small snuff, tobacco, trinket, knickknack, tole ware, 1800's, or Folk Art collection, or use as a paperweight / conversation piece, desk accessory.
