What is the frame made of,...as it is only 12in x 8in ..it has limited use,..it would make a nice pill box...

looks like card type cheap wood? however it has this thrilly lace type fabric. the door opens outwards ad has  aglass shelf inside that can hold about  3 ring in boxes on the shelf.

It is "quirky"

Nice little box , leeb2012 .

Perhaps a case for a scale & assay equip (I doubt it) ?

Display/presentation case for sure .... christening/loving cups , etc. ....

Have not seen one just like it , though .
