Mine would be from 1980 or 1981 almost certainly.

I picked up a red version of the solid plastic Baseball Card Locker. It was filled with a collector's 1970's Topps. When you open the locker doors, on the inside each slot is identified with a team. The one I picked up has one of the slots identified as the Seattle Pilots, so it was from that time frame. I believe these were sold in stores to hold your collection and were not affiliated with Topps.

Does it say 'Topps' anywhere on it?

No, there is no other printing other than what’s on this front panel. The little circle towards the bottom left says “A take me along Tara-Toy” So Tara-Toy is the only branding.

Here’s my childhood Tara toy version. I can back up they were from the early 80s. I can also say these Tara toy versions had nothing to do with Topps, they were sold at Supermarkets and toy stores. I remember getting mine new.

As you can see the guts started to crack at some point and I gutted it for storage. I had to dig in the vaults for this one, thanks for the memories.

All the lockers from Topps in the 80s I remember my friends having looked like the red example he shows with the brass clasp
