Family heirloom

I don’t know exactly how old this box is but it was made by my (Di’s) Grandfather (1876-1945) so it’s most likely well over 100 years old. It’s part of a group of five highly decorated wooden boxes he made that have been left to me. Worth noting is the long screw thread which works perfectly. He was a motor mechanic by trade but his father was a cabinet maker so I guess the lathe and tools were to hand.
