They are definitely rivets. I am over joyed on how much attention this piece has received. I just can't wait till I find exactly what it is. Still on the hunt...

I was thinking that also Bigwull, being it had the same mark on that persons item. Thank you all very very much!  You all have been very helpful. I am going to do some more research and hopefully take it somewhere to get an answer. I will update for sure when I find out.

I guess I could clarify and show that that piece goes inside the container and is completely sealed off when the cap goes on.

Bigwull, I agree with everything you say. Rustyattic, I can see that it might be something like by the corrosion it has. The mark is quite dull and hard to see in the pic.

Has no wax residue, but has a very distinct chemical-metallic smell to it. I had found one person online that had a brass tube map and document holder holder, circa 1880s from the same manufacture.  Still, no info on the company that I can find.

I acquired this sometime ago and for the life of me can find no information on it. Seems to be brass with GHW MFG CO mark on the bottom. Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
