wooden Flare carry case?

[wulfrik-the-wanderer]

hey everyone,

I was surfing google images the other day and came across this picture that was unrelated to the search but which grabbed my attention.

I saw this picture and remembered I have a similar box without the strap I'd got from my grandads,

I ratched it out to have a look.

E16 stamped on bottom

bottom of box showing 8 screws

front of box

sides showing where attachments were nailed/screwed in

rear of box

interior of box has a wax coating?

other than the E16 stamp I can't find any other marking without perhaps removing the varnish/paint. the size of the box is about 8 and 3/8 inches tall by 8 and 5/8 wide and 4 and 3/8 deep

other than the one picture on the internet I can't seem to find any information, does any one know what era this is from? and any information regarding it?

cheers in advance,

Haydn
