Not a Stanley tool, but a nice box that some hardware came in...

That's nice. I have one I picked up on ebay several years ago but the lettering is not as clear and crisp as yours. Good find.

Cool, and nice that a box survived for a century in as good shape as that one.

That sure is a beauty. I can just picture it filled with planes or maybe spiral screwdrivers or eggbeater drills or braces or....

Jim mentioned that it was for hardware...so probably hinges or the like.  At least, thank goodness, not garage door openers.

Hard to argue with a daydream like that.

 You don't have room to store that box. Better ship it to me. On second thought you could store it outside since it doesn't rain in southern Ca. Bet it ends up in living room.
