Need help identifying this

[John (Australia)]

Hello to all, I have owned a Quattro for 8 months and it was a great move getting one.The attached picture is something I found here in South Australia this month but it seems it may well have more USA features than Australian. It depicts a ocean going paddle steamer type vessel and its Size is 53mm by 50mm and it appears to be a pressed design made of brass. It was folded in half but with carefull straightening it came up quite well.One side appears to be a hinge the opposite (left as you look at it) had a tab that is bent around like a catch. There are also four small recrangular slots around the oval as if something could be attached covering the oval.

Here is something that is similar in size and design, a souvenir snuff box from a transAtlantic line. Too bad the oval detail is gone, John, as there was likely more identifying details on it.
