    I am guessing it is the CIMC container company founded I think 1980 so probably not very old but wondering if any one can decipher it?
    Thanks for any help
    I couldn't find anything similar

    CIMC - do you think it's for a business? It's nice. If it was from around here I'd guess Cape & Islands Medical Center, but that's probably not it.

    the wood looks to be laser engraved , so i'm thinking mid 90's or later...

    Can't help with the inscriptions, but CIMC stands for: "China International Marine Containers".

    Thank you and Komokwa I don't think it's very old. That's what I was guessing, so also guessing likely someone from company...

    Size? If small is probably a promotional item produced in some quantity.

    I don't believe it matters much, Sharona, but I agree with Spring.

    Probably some type of promotional item for employees or customers produced in some quantity.
