Vintage Cub Scout box from the 1940s/ the date 1946 is die stamped on the inside bottom. Made of a molded material that is very hard. The piece is in excellent shape. Measures 4 inches by 3. Also a pin and a neckerchief Wolf slide that I assume were from the same era. Both were found in the box along with a Red Cross card hand dated 1958-1959.
He's still living in Muskogee! That's where his Jr. high is located. (I look everyone up - I think it's interesting.) He graduated HS in 1964.
You could send it back to him!

LOL - here's a story about Caleb from the web:
"One time, very early in my sophomore year at Central High, I was working at Burger Chef on Eastside Boulevard, and the franchise owner at the time, drove an old 49 Chevy and he used to let me drive it sometimes. So this one evening me, Ricky Boyd, my brother Teddy Joe, Earnie Scocos and Dean Scocos all piled into this old beat-up Chevy and went cruising around Muskogee.
We were headed east on Okmulgee Avenue, and were stopped at the light at Eastside Boulevard, when another car pulled up along side of us and stopped, and my brother, who was sitting in the front passenger seat said someone in the next car had given him the middle finger, and my brother had given it back to him, and these guys in the other car, one of whom I recognized as a local tough guy named Caleb Milligan, start hollering at us and start chasing us up Okmulgee Avenue.
Well, I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm not eager to take on Caleb Milligan, but there's no way I can outrun them in that old car, so I pull over to the side of the road and stop. Caleb Milligan was five or six years older than me, and had a pretty tough reputation, and he certainly looked the part, large, strong and menacing looking. So Caleb and another person I didn't know at the time, walked up to my drivers window, and Caleb wanted to know what we punks thought we were doing giving him the finger.
I explained what my brother had told me: that the other guy standing there had given him the finger first. I felt some relief as Caleb seemed mollified that we were not trying to be disrespectful to him personally, but were just reacting to his sidekick showing disrespect to us, and then, out of the blue, this second guy who is with Caleb, and who is an Unamed Classmate (UC) of ours, for some reason decides it is a good time to try to sucker punch me, while I'm sitting there trying to reason with Caleb. Maybe he thought he had not caused enough trouble already. He swings this big roundhouse punch at me while I'm not looking, but instead of hitting me, he hits the car door right above my head! Hard! Ouch! That must have hurt! :)
About this time, Ricky Boyd, who is sitting in the backseat right behind me, and cannot be seen by the two guys standing outside, leans forward and sticks his head out my drivers window and says to UC, "Hey, UC, you better watch your step, or I'll beat the **** out of you! I didn't know UC at the time since he was from the West side of town, and he didn't know me, but apparently he and Ricky had had some dealings in the past, and it turns out UC was very intimidated to see Ricky Boyd in the car with me, threatening him with bodily harm, and he immediately started apologizing profusely.
Well, the whole tone kind of changed, and that broke the spell, and Caleb Milligan started laughing at UC, and how things had turned out and told UC, the one with the very sore hand, to get in the car and they left drove off and left us alone. So, thanks Rick, for stepping up and defending your cuz. Ole UC didn't want any part of Ricky Boyd. Ricky didn't have a mean bone in his body, but you did not want to get him riled up because he did have a temper. It's the Irish in our family tree. :)"
