Original deadstock Bakelite round container with lid. We found several of these with a number of other deadstock stuff all from this same company Gebrüder Götz. All of the items were pre-war 1930s. It is in good condition overall. I am not entirely sure of its original purpose. It sort of reminds me of a very large shampoo powder container or maybe a coffee container. Gebr. Götz was a machine factory (making lathes, presses, benders, etc) and iron foundry.
