Re: antique box

 In 1921 American import law changed to require the place of origin be marked on a product in English. Since Nippon was an adaptation of a description of the island country in the native language, Nippon was no longer acceptable under the new law. Backstamps after 1921 state "Japan" or "Made in Japan."

 

 U.S. Patent Act of 1952 

I need to ask why you think it's 1912-1913? the reason I'm asking is, the Hobbie Lobbie girl was used in the 1960's  the name Japan inside a box is also common to the 1960s.. most sell for around $20.00

"Note" I do not claim to be an expert:
