Antique 400 Silver Color Floral Repousse Pill Box w/Hinged Lid 1 3/4" round

Description

This saccharin/pill box has a hinged lid with a floral repousse design  (I looked up repousse - it means the design is metal hammered from the inside.  Learn something new everyday.)
The lid fits perfectly and clicks into place so the box could be carried in a pocket or purse.
On the bottom:
JHJS (The script initials look like JHJS to me but you might want to check the photos to be sure)
400
I don't know what the 400 means - perhaps that is the amount of silver in the metal? (Sterling is 925)  If anyone knows, I'd be happy to hear from them.
