This is a Cricket box, I believe that crickets were for good luck, with out seeing the bottom I would say this is Tongzhi period, a picture of the bottom to confirm thanks.

Thank you for the great help!
Here is a photo of the bottom.

Crickets used for fighting and betting. Taken in said box to the tournament. Much easier than trying to stuff a pitbull or cockeral under your arm.

Thank you for that David, I have never heard that, fighting crickets, very interesting, and yes Tongzhi.

[LegacyMan]

Thank you both for the education and excellent help!
