Haberdashery Finds: Collar Box

It's no secret that I spend way too much time on ebay. This recent purchase is wooden box with fish on the cover (random) intended for removable collar storage. As pictured, the inner lid indicates that it is from S.W.H. Ward's Sons, Manufacturers Of Argosy Cloth Faced Collars & Cuffs, based in NYC.  Two collars were included, one an Arrow and the other Van Heusen. Presumably these two collars were merely stored in the box and that the box was purchased with collars from S.W.H. Ward's. Not bad, eh?

I've got a few leather collar boxes myself but have never seen a wooden one before. This is very unusual.
