Vintage box and old newspapers

I've bought this vintage box at a flea market. I've been wondering for all this time about its use. Maybe   a watch holder or something like that?.
 At the same time, I've been carrying for about forty (yes, 40) years some really old (1908) newspapers, (but this is another story, and another post!) Well, now the inspiration come and I put together vintage box and old newspapers before they go to shreds...and we'll see  what will come out...
