Ohhh Alan, this is great! Incredible find and as you said so far!!
Excelent information and story about the old bank called "Caja Popular de San José" established in 1909.
San José is a lovely departement near the capital.
You did a nice purchase, the box looks in very pretty vintage conditions and is very stronger as well.
Thanks so much for your post and for the love that I can feel you put in it!!!
