Wooden MBE Case Box
A characterful vintage wooden presentation box with a warm reddish-brown finish and simple rectangular plaque detail to the lid though no longer there.
The base is inscribed “R.E. Scobie MBE”, suggesting it once belonged to a recipient of the Member of the Order of the British Empire honour. A fascinating personal piece of British history, likely connected to long service or voluntary rescue work.
The box has a clean, unfussy design with brass hinges and a small front button detail. Ideal as a keepsake box, document holder, or decorative display piece with a subtle historic story.
