Question about item

[Good Pwny]

I bought this off of eBay from a seller in E. Europe. It was listed as a personal item that was dug. I'm just wondering what it is. It says New-York Hamburg. G.W.Co. on the side. Thanks..

Haha, oh man, I also bid on this on Ebay, but you beat my bid! I have no idea what it was either, but, I'm excited to learn what it was used for.

Man, I'm sorry I out bid you! Now I feel like a bad person, lol. I really liked the landscape on it. Small world!

Anyone???

I think it's a matchbox.

I don't know it's use, but that cross sure looks Swiss. Apparently it was imported to Hamburg from New York. Pretty cool little piece, I guess it could be trench art.

Maybe some more pictures could help id this item.

It looks like a snuffbox to me.

I would use the forum, but, there's very little WW1, or Imperial German stuff.

I think it's a matchbox.

I was thinking that's what it could be.
