Sounds like a worm box. They had cylinders with a trap door side and kidney shaped ones with a top lid. They made some in wisconsin called "Bob's Bait Box". They are considered inexpensive antique collectables. I suppose there may be some older rarer types that might be treasures.The leather straps were to attach to waders I think.

If its small its for bait. If its big its for fish.
Sounds like a bait carrier.
