[QUOTE="Mo Bjornestad, post: 340742, member: 3485"][ATTACH=full]114603[/ATTACH] unusual box? I think so as I have not found this construction in boxes I’ve examined or manufactured (I ran a large old lock corner machine for years on a swing shift job in high school and college, making box sides as long 24” and as I remember it, the machine was capable of more) This unusual box is Lock cornered on one corner only Nails on the other corners could be original as they are well spaced It would seem a larger box was lock cornered, glued and pressed together, belt sanded, and then cut into four pieces, each finished with dimensioned flat stock. 3” high 4.75” wide 2.25” deep Wood is 5/16ths except bottom and the side which accepts the slide-in top are 4/16” the inside dimensions 2.5” inside height up to the slider groove 4 and 3/16 inside width 1 and 5/8” inside [ATTACH=full]114591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114592[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114595[/ATTACH] deep Slider to close top fits well Very vague in my mind’s eye evidence of having had some kind of lettering or design on one side.
