Vintage Red Leather Box Unknown WWII German Badge Case WWI US Medal Pocketwatch
24 July 2024 by admin
Antique / Vintage red leather case with what feels like silk and velvet lining. Listing as unknown because I have not been able to positively identify the case. Other collectors think it could be for a WWI US medal, WWII German medal or badge, or even a pocket watch from the same time periods. I have found similar red cases used with US medals, and have found red German cases that use a very similar hinge and latches – identical construction in different shapes. I have also seen US medals with German made cases like this one. I think this is most likely for a German badge, but I have not seen an identical case anywhere online. The latch works but it is tough to close the case tight. The damage on top of the lid looks to be where a sticker or tape was applied at some point. Photographed in natural daylight.
