Yes - I know it's broken but I think I can still get at least $25 in the store. I'd like to be able to tell them how old it is. Does anyone know?
the wood looks aged artificially ...and the hardware doesn't look that old......but good luck ......i could always be wrong ! ( well....not always..! ..)
Im pretty sure its 60s-70s. My brother kept his albums in one. We had a ton of anheuser stuff because dad worked for them here in jax for 20+ years.We went to Busch gardens every year for summer vacation because dad got free tickets. My brothers and I were SICK of it by our teens !
These have been made almost the same way since the 1920s - same galvanized edging, same size, etc. The graphics and the hinges (when they were hinged at all) changed through the years, and I believe that they were in use through the 1940s when waxed pasteboard (not corrugated) came into play. I sold one of the pastboard ones for about 30 USD some years ago.
