cogar, beg to differ.  Someone put it on there for a "purpose"!  For an non-conventional use or as a conversation piece!  :)  It obviously is working as the later!  LOL

Not a clue here, don't think it's american though. Is cord/ bracket original to the box or added?

Perhaps a 'shelf standing' salt box/cellar (since it looks like burl) & maybe the hook & chain was used for the purpose of holding it open , during salt-dippin' ?

Very good!  The hanger doesn't have to be to keep it closed. It may be to keep it open.
