    Hi,
    I've seen this old little box for sale, and I'm stumped at what it could have been used for. Screenshot_20211210-194229_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20211210-194137_Chrome.jpg

    Tea chests were lined with metal or thick foil

    Guess this one could have been stripped

    Agree. A recent Indian import. Look to Home Goods, etc.
