Wuts it

 Found this brass beauty while out junking.
 Not sure it's our era of accomplishment but it does hold a number of .50 cal size ( real ).020 pillow ticking patches. Spring loaded.
Never seen anything like it and I'm hoping someone here has a clue.
 Also saw one there with a bigger patch probably.62 or up.
 Owner had no idea but for 5$ I couldn't pass it up

It sure looks like a patch dispenser to me! have never seen one before but might as well build the better mouse trap back in the 60's or 70's?

The larger one was belt worn.  I'm still scouring the interweb
 Thanks for looking
