Below is a photo of a case for the transport of a display model, circa 1956. To figure out how big the model inside the box is, I need to know how big the box is. And oddly enough, figuring out how big a sixty-plus-year-old box is from a single photo is a little tricky. However, it’s *entirely* possible that this was an off the shelf item… and it might even be something that someone has. Not likely, but at least possible. So, on the off chance someone can nail this thing down for me… $100.00 (one hundred US dollars) worth of my downloadable stuff for whoever first is able to show me exactly what box this is and, importantly, how big it is. Photos of an actual item with a ruler would work. Photos/scans of a catalog that shows and describes it would work.

It could be more vaguely defined by going after some of the components. I suspect the three-digit locks might be pretty well standardized. Definition on those or maybe the handle would be useful if the box can’t be defined… useful to the tune of $15 in downloads.

The winner also gets clued in on just what the frak I’m doing here, and a copy of the results.
