Vintage circa 1960s Carrying Case File Box Blue/Black Latch Handle Wood w Veneer

Description

THIS IS NOT A RECORD CASE! I am familiar with 33/45/78 RPM records and this is not for any of those: It is far too large for 7" records, just barely too small for 10" records, and way too small for 12" records.
The original purpose for this box is likely files of some sort.
Inner dimensions (not including lid): 9.75" wide x 8" tall x 5" deep. The lid adds 1.25" of inner height.
Outer dimensions (not including handle):  10.25" wide x 9.75" tall x 5.5" deep
The box has a built-in divider that splits the depth of the box until 3" down.
No brand or trademarks visible. The case is made of lightweight wood wrapped in a faux leather textured veneer and apparently painted after assembly. No locking mechanism on latch. Reinforced at bottom edges. No major defects, just normal wear from age and use and one 1/2-inch chip in veneer on back top edge (see photos for details).
Ripe for repurpose, this curious little case is sturdy and up to most any carrying task!
