·Is this box from the 1920’s or 1930’s? I know this font is associated with the mid to late 20’s era but the box looks like a 30’s one.

·No need for apologies, but it would be cool to build consensus around
Longines boxes in one thread. It`s a topic I find interesting and like to collect😀
I would be suprised if your box dates to the 1920`s I would guess this is more
1940`s

·Makes sense. So would the 13ZN come in a box like this?

I've found the only way to be certain what watch a box belongs to is to come across either an advertisement which shows the box as well, or to find a full-set from a (trustworthy) owner - both of which are becoming harder to find as time marches on.
It also seems like dealers sometimes mixed-and-matched, so it's really difficult to tell

·I never really considered boxes before. I have always considered 13ZN, 30CH, 13.33z, Cal 15 etc as watches with no boxes and I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one with a box. But now I kinda want to reunite my 1935 Cal 15 with an original box, as long as it’s not too expensive.
(Perhaps for completionist reasons, but also perhaps because it seems like that's where they properly belong - their 'designed home', as it were)
