What is this strange box for ?

Jodi on Sep 11, 2014My first thought was some kind of case to hold guns. Not very secure though... Just seems like each peg would support part of something. Looks like it might have been made to fit a specific collection. Just a guess.Helpful Reply

Nia Warter on Sep 11, 2014My family call it the creepy case. They claim it's haunted and strange things are happening in the room it is kept in. lol I have not seen nor heard and strange happenings yet. I thought guns as well but the position of the pegs make no sense.Helpful Reply

Susan-Amber Springer on Sep 11, 2014Might it be a warping board, that is, a tool to wind cord to serve as warp on a loom. Are the peg locations like this?Helpful Reply

Nia Warter on Sep 12, 2014Susan-Amber Springer, it has two hooks on top so it can be hung on a wall. A glass door with a latch for a lock and the pegs should look like the photo I edited in the original post. I posted a pic of the box upright. Elizabeth it could be used for jewelry but I kind of think it would be a waste of an awesome display area. I am just hoping to find out what it may have been used for.Helpful Reply

Z on Sep 12, 2014You may never know what it once held, but it's definitely a display box that could be used for other items if you remove the current knobs and replace the flannel. Nice find.Helpful Reply

Lee Cunningham Green on Sep 13, 2014I have seen display cabinets like this, they are usually custom made and often for heirloom weapons, guns, knives this actually looks like it may have had exactly that . I am surprised there is no glass on the front, usually they are covered with a glass door and are lockable. Maybe these weapons were not useable ?Helpful Reply

Paulette Montoya on Sep 13, 2014Looks like a custom knife case it looks like the pegs that dont have a cap are shorter than the ones that do maybe to position it for a 3D lookHelpful Reply
