Guys, I found something really cool—an Art Deco bakelite box from Longines.
It’s interesting that I can’t find much information about it anywhere, except that it was used for display purposes when selling watches. I don’t know if it’s a “significant” find, but I’m really happy about it.

Very cool box @Jopo What makes you think this box was for display purposes
and not regular sale? Any markings in the bakelite?

Hi. There’s just a serial number that doesn’t tell us much—T5 2915.
After checking several sources—the box was definitely intended for selling women’s watches, BUT if you tilt it “diagonally,” you can display the watches in a store window. In my opinion, that’s how they designed it to be “functional.”
