Re: what is this a .........

Some history:
Until the late 19th century, the biscuit/cracker industry was made up of small independent local bakeries preparing products and selling them in bulk. The barrels and crates of biscuits were delivered by horse and wagon, set out in the grocery store and sold to the consumer by the measure.

In February 1898 the competing groups combined 114 factories and formed the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco).

Although Joseph Loose was a member of the Nabisco’s Board of Directors, in 1902 along with his brother Jacob and John H. Wiles, he liquidated his holdings in National Biscuit Company and formed the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company in Kansas City. In 1912 Loose-Wiles opened their ‘Thousand Window” bakery on Long Island, which remained the largest bakery building in the world until 1955.
In 1946 or '47, the Loose-Wiles Company officially changed its name to Sunshine Biscuit, Inc.

Yep...probably a sample case to take to prospective customers. I worked for a mfgr. that built windows into suitcases for the salesmen to carry from house to house.
