printmaker's storage box for alpha-numeric letters

 

I'm not sure I see how that would work as a printers storage box.

What does the underside look like?
Did it have legs?
Does it look like it hung on a wall like a slat board?

 

Sorry, here is back. No defining features on back. No holes or hardware to suggest it was mounted.

 

I keep thinking of the 1950s slat coffee tables.
But I don't see any indication that there might have been legs.

Right, there is no indication anything else was attached. The more open slots at end makes me think some sort of old game table. Maybe it goes to something else, I'm lost on it.

 

A menu board that you stick plastic letters on?

 

i like that !!!!

 

Any indicators that it ever hung on a wall? Nail-holes, screw-holes, hooks, etc?

I find it strange that all the slats are different sizes & different widths. Surely it wouldn't have that, if it was a message/menu board? You'd need so many different types of letters...

 

That's sort where I was heading with it, just need confirmation.

 

No indication it was affixed to anything. Identification of this is driving me up the isolation walls ha ha.

I don't think it has enough depth to be a drawer
