88, what is hinged?<br />The handle is made to pick bottle up by.<br />The music box is hidden underneath.<br />The bottom has 4 little legs it sits on.

Naw, you are all wrong, it is a port side running light from a vintage 1887 water craft. Man, never seen one in such good condition! Must be worth at least $100K! Where did you find that SBN? Never saw one in such good condition!
