How do you describe something so rare?  Please see all the pictures.  No maker's mark.  One strap bolt has some corrosion.  Some peeling on the bottom.  The lining is fuzzy like like a coconut????  Unknown wood hinge carved all one piece with some kind of dowel.  There are some scuffs, some mirror discoloration.  Open and closes as should, clean inside, and handle in good shape.  My estimate from the 40's, only a guess.
