Letterpress type drawer type case double cap case

Double Cap Case dating back to at least 1905. The back label “J. Scott, Whitewood, Assn” is the clue. The District of Assiniboia was an administrative region that was later incorporated into the province of Saskatchewan in 1905. The fact the case is labeled as belonging to Mr. Scott in the District of Assiniboia indicates the case was in use prior to the establishment of the province of Saskatchewan in 1905. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assiniboia for more information on the District of Assiniboia.
