Tiny dragon box with inside chain and hook - what is this?

Profile picture for user EZSparky
By EZSparky, 24 October, 2017
Description

Tiny brass hinged box with ornate raised dragon on it. Size 1 1/4 in x 1 in x 7/16 in Has a short chain attached on the inside of the box that has a small ornate L shaped hook attached to the end of the chain. The box has a clasp to keep it closed. I have no idea what this is used for or what its worth is. It seems rather old. Any help identifying what this item is and what it is worth would be much appreciated.
