Auction find

I found this at an auction about 10 years ago. I was the first to pick it up and buy it but I had others offer me double what I paid for it right there before I was able to get it into the car. I kept it - wondering if you know how old it is or any other details? It is leather. The guy at the sale told me it was his 80 year old grandmother's when she was a child and it was passed down to her from her mother. Any help appreciated!
