Mascot: Trademark of AS Brown of England. Manufacturing compacts as early as the 1940s and signed "ASB". Began using the Mascot tradename in 1950. Famous for compacts shaped as handbags which were done during the 1950s. Absorbed the Kigu Co in 1977. Continued producing compacts into the (end was left off?) from...http://www.squidoo.com/Vintage_Ladies_Compacts#module12910022

REGD. DES. means registered design.  This may be a compact rather than a pill box.  I believe it is gold-plated but not with real gold, just a gold finish as is common on compacts.  Maybe someone else knows about this type of ladies container.
