An umbrella. But I'm sure there are other answers.

Right in one.

But I'm pretty sure it's the only answer.

I concede. That is one of the only riddles I have ever heard with one answer.

Can you think of another?

The Hobbit had quite a few. It used to be the whole idea to come up with riddles that only had one answer, and also were pretty nifty little rhymes.

It's been years, but...

A box without hinges, key or lid
But golden treasure inside is hid

I've got a few more, too

There we go.

A Kellogg's Corn Flakes Box.

No hinges, key or lid. Just a cardboard flap.

Corn is golden. Corn Flakes are made from Corn. Therefore, corn flakes could be considered a "Golden Treasure".

If you try hard enough, there's always one. I doubt it's this one, because Tolkein wrote The Hobbit a fair while before Corn Flakes were created.
