Any idea when this is from?

Hi! I bought a little tiny shelf at an antique store today. I am not really sure what it is exactly for, but I was wondering if anybody could tell me when it is from? I will attach plenty of photos!

 

Someone will probably be able to suggest a date better than I can but I think it's a cedar, finger-jointed jewelry/trinket box. If guessing (and I am) I'd think maybe 1950s?

Someone else will know better.

 

1950s as above or early 1960s.

Looks to be somebody's home workshop project. Pretty rough.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Or perhaps a high school wood shop class. Where the boys were when the girls were in home ec.

I'm thirding 50s/60s.

 

Might be just a tad earlier if those handles are Bakelite.

 

Handles might have been reused, hm? We were still using bakelite stuff here post war.

 

I think these are the same handles though the box is made a bit differently. They say brass on theirs.
