      It looks like a collection box of some sort I hope this helps as it's just a guess

      Kind of looks like something for mail - to be fitted in a big, thick front door. I dunno....lol! I like it though!

      It does look like a letter box & door handle I think you are spot on

      I just found out today that it is a vintage cigarette and match dispenser from the 40's. Thanks for the suggestions!
