Wood Edelweiss Hand Painted Jewelry Box ostfront Vintage German aluminum food container

Vintage German aluminum food container with a spring steel closure

It measures about 9 1/2" by 6 3/8"

This purse actually came from the estate of an army nurse (it was stored with her army nurse purse so it may have been something she picked up while in the service)

I am not sure how much of the inside is original

Wood Edelweiss Hand Painted Jewelry Box ostfront Vintage German aluminum food containerGerman hand made edelweiss flower jewelry box. The flowers are deeply carved into the box as well as being painted. The box has an unusual closure, the front face of the box must be slid to the right to unlatch the box. It makes for a much more secure closure.
