I found this box in a cardboard box of items that I inherited from my Mother.  A well made wood box that was clearly a well used treasure. It is Oak, with finger jointed corners.   Finger Jointed Oak Box It has a "Shaw-Walker" decal on the front. Research suggests this box was made in the early 1900s. Shaw-Walker Small brass hinges and a clever arced retaining bracket are the only visible external elements.

Enjoy! David ...
