This is a bronzed pin or stamp box. Signed McClelland Barclay (American, 1891 – 1943) but hard to read the date so guessing 1933. Bronze Plated Base Metal. Found some info on this historic company from the great Wikipedia at bottom of page.
Condition is good for its age with average finish wear, scratches, scuffs, verdigris, tarnishing, few dings to top corners and age cracking to finish, nice patina and still looks great. Measures 3 1/2″ long 2 1/4″ wide and 3 1/4″ tall to top of mushroom and 1 7/8″ tall to top of box with no lid.. Weight is nice at 1 pound 7 oz..
