Subject:cricket cage
Posted By: David Fri, Sep 18, 2015 IP: 99.236.194.58

Hello all! Can someone please tell me if this small 1 1/4" dia plated pierced box is a cricket cage? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! David.

Possibly a betel nut box from a larger set, such as shown here. These boxes are airtight, but other sets sometimes have reticulated boxes like yours, which may not be all that old, because betel-chewing remains ubiquitous throughout much of Asia.

Best regards,

Bill H.
