WWII Buddy Box- A token from the home front to those in service

[Manchu Warrior]

I picked this "Buddy Box" up today and figured that it might be kind of rare and I cannot find any information on it. It is dated 1942 and it is obvious what it would be used for and I think that it's a pretty awesome box. What do you all think?

Nice home front piece. Homemade cookies or other goodies would fit right in it.

I wonder if these were treated like the "flat rate" boxes the post office has nowadays - shipping for the same rate no matter how much you stuffed into it.

 

Very neat box!

This is all the information on the box and I appreciate the comments!

Here's an all sheet metal one. With the instruction tag.

And a chocolates box mode for service men.
