Nice antique-vintage  industrial wood crate box. This awesome heavy duty chest style crate was made for Western Electric Company, Detroit, Michigan and has their logo and address stenciled on each side in red. This has a bi-folding style lid which is hinged on each side so that it opens from the center outwards. It has heavy steel plate reinforced corners and hinges as well as locking hardware on the ends of the lid which allowed you to lock the box lid up with a padlock. Each end also has canvas straps for carrying which are still intact (though I would not use them to carry it that way now as they are aged and may not hold up). Has a wonderful aged patina to the wood and a little surface rust to the metal parts, nice look for decor purposes. Overall this is in great solid condition and was made to withstand heavy duty use so it's still good to go. A perfect piece for industrial, rustic, farmhouse, and so many other decor themes! Perfect size to store away throw blankets, towels, books, and so much more in and because it has a lid, it can double as a surface on top! Measurements: 21" x 16" x 14" tall. SHIPPING NOTE: Please note that this is a very heavy and large size crate. For locations farthest from me (West Coast), if a cheaper option is available, such as FedEx, vs. the USPS calculated rate from Ebay, I will ship it via that option and refund you any overages. 

The inside has been lined with fabric.  My guess is the in the 60's but I can't say for sure.  You can keep this or it can easily be removed, if desired.
