Hello, I found this wooden bread delivery box (approx 36" x 24" x 12" deep) and wondered if anyone else has ever seen one. It has a mark stamped on it 5-37, I don't know if it's a year or inventory number. The best I can find it is 1920-1930 era company but I don't see anything about bread boxes. Thanks.
5-37 is May 1937.
Wow - that's a piece of bread history!
