It's metal that was supposed to look like a book? It's very ornate IMG_0958.webpIMG_0960.webpIMG_0961.webpIMG_0962.webpIMG_0963.webp

Nice crayon safe! It's for hiding your child's crayons so that they don't draw all over their walls... or at least that's what I'd have put in one this morning if I knew how the day was going to go.

Don't know what their called but they were used as you might guess to put valuables in and place amongst other books on your shelf.

....Pretty interesting ! So...The "back side" is open ? The spine , as it were , might give up clues to its origins.
Had something been soldered to the placard ?

The back was a thinner metal and broken apart but I have all the pieces I'll take a picture of it when I get home. I appreciate your interest
