Boy Scouts Of America Syroco Wood trinket box (Syracuse Ornamental Company) started in 1890's in Syracuse New York. They create a new product that combined wood pulp from the Adirondacks with flour as a binder and other materials to give it strengthen then made in molds which had been carved from real wood..This could then be smoother and varnished. Very cool piece of history.
Circa 1945 - 1950 Est Value: $37.50 - $50 US Thanks for sharing ... nice piece of Scouting History

Re: Antique boy scout box
Sorry I forgot to mention this is not an antique. It would be considered Vintage or Vintique as its under 100 years old ...
