At first I thought it was one of those rolling boxes for dope heads, but there's no rolling tray. I'm pretty sure it was made for pipe smokers, and it's nice and classy. Not bad for £3.50.

Whatever the slot was for it's getting used as a pipe rest now, and the base of the tray will be my cutting board for plugs and twists. One of the reasons I suspect it's tobacco related is that the wood is walnut, which is a wood I associate with tobacconalia.
Interesting! I wonder what the original purpose is. In any case, it looks like it will work just fine as a pipe tray.
I smoke my pipes in my house, and I consider my tray an essential tool, as it helps me contain the mess and facilitates easy cleanup. When I’m done, I just pick the tray up with all my pipe stuff on it and stick it in a drawer.

I keep my pipes, tobacco and accessories in my study/man-cave. I'll keep this in my living room to hide pipe cleaners, matches etc. Hide the clutter in something decorative.
Thanks. The squarish indents are too small for playing cards, and it's the wrong side of the Atlantic.
It’s a dresser organizer/jewelry box. But it’s perfect for what you are using it for. I really like it.?
Oh, card games are popular enough, it's just that poker is played by comparatively few. Whereas it's a bit of an institution to have poker nights in the States. You're much more likely to find a game of brag, like poker but only three cards in hand.
I've added a picture of my playing card box to give the scale. I have a thing for wooden boxes.
