That’s the weird thing here….my dad has had it at least since the very early 50’s, it came from a non collector grandfather (my great great) who obviously didn’t value them (cigar box) and from there it came from his uncle, so my great great great uncle? I can’t pretend to fathom the motivation, other than a parent appeasing a young child to fabricate something to carry around. I do that daily with my kids….
