Extremely Rare Wooden Box For Store Owners Electrotypes for Campbell Soups c1910

Description: In my 40+ years in dealing with antiques and collectables, I have never seen one of these. After doing what limited research and information I could find, I am pretty sure that this box was sent to store owners. Inside the box contained metal sheet electrotypes (like what was attached to printer's blocks) that could be used by the store owner when they placed ads in the local paper. There are examples of these Campbell logo ads in a 1910 edition of "The Trade", which I found online. This listing is for the box only. The box measures about 8" x 6" x 1 3/4". Back hinges are on the bottom so when it opens the topside of the box serves as an easel. I doubt there are many of these still around. Please see pictures and message me with any questions. Thank you for looking.
