This box I got after grandfather. I miss the key and hope to find it. This is so "retrowonderful" I think. Believe it´s made of vulcanized fibre.
Any ideas on when this was made?
Sorry about the photos, don´t know why it´s not working.

beautiful!!!
This is a great retro piece. I'm guessing 1940's or 1950's.
I would say 30's to 40's as well, I doubt that it is vulcanized fiber... too nice for that. Lovely little box..
Thanks PatSea for Deslumbrante :)!!
Jscott0363 thanks! I was also thinking along that line but wasn't sure.
Thanks Trunkman, so it could even be from the 30s? Thanks for nice coment, yes it's a nice little box.
Thanks Jewels, PhilipDavidAlexandermorris, Manikin, Sean68, aghcollect, Vetraio50 and Racer4four!

Here is a wonderful website that has the history of this type of vintage luggage manufacturers. My thoughts lean more towards the 40's and 50's as this would be a wonderful light weight piece to travel with on a plane. A Great little retro box.
Wow, great Drill! I'll check it out some more. Thanks for showing interest!
Thanks Trey!
CW changed category to bags ans,suitcases. That doesn't feel right with the shape and size of it. It's more of a box to store things in. To me it's still a little box-trunk :).
Thanks pops52 for love!
