Hey guys.
New here.
I've always love detecting, but haven't really gotten into it (yet).
Just wanted to get my feet wet here.
I have a question..
I just bought this brass "map/document" case.
All brass, decent weight,
32.75 " tall and 3.25 diameter.
No stamps/makers marks, etc.
I was told it is a lot older than I think it is.
Could anyone tell me any approximate date?
It appears to be hand soldered but I know that can be done even today...is there a possibility that this it is a much older soldering?
It is brass and definitely appears to have been "waterproofed" with all the seals...which is why I'm guessing Naval/maritime.
I would love any help on this.
Thanks!
