Miniature Brass Spittoon Salesman Sample ? Doll House? Ashtray? 2" x 3"

Selling an antique vintage miniature brass spittoon. I don't know if this was a salesman's sample, for a doll house or if it was meant to be an ashtray. You are buying this with your knowledge. Measures approx. 2" high by approx. 3" across. This does have some dents and wear as well as patina. Please look at the pictures carefully, pictures are part of the description.
