The Box & Era: The presence of the original box considerably stabilizes its appeal to antique collectors.
The box art clearly places this in the 1920s–1930s era rather than the more common, later industrial versions from the 1950s or 1960s.
Condition: The wooden handle looks intact and the metal housing displays a clean patina. If the internal sequence wheels click and advance cleanly when pressed, it leans toward the upper end of the valuation
