Found this at an Estate Sale and just thought it was neat. I would like to try and find out if this was standard equipment for a vehicle or if it was some kind of dealer/factory award. Spent several hours trying to research it and couldn't find a whole lot about it. Appears that they had these in 1960 and 1961. Case is in great condition, light staining that might clean off but was afraid to do much because of the paper on the bottom of the case.
Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Looks like a safty award that was given out in the factory in Det. My uncle had one or more of those or something very close to it... he worked for GM from the 1950's to 1978 in Detroit. I just have not seen his since I was an early teen.
Thank you very much for taking the time to post. That's kind of what I thought too since it doesn't have a specific model name on the box. Off to Ebay I go!
