Default Early Topps Gum Box?

Hi-

This is sort of off topic, but I was curious what folks think of the box pictured below. It appears to be an early Topps chewing gum box, but I did not know if it was something made recently or how old it is specifically. There were dozens of matchbooks stored in the box (none were related to Topps or baseball) and the top is long gone, but I thought the graphics were interesting. It appears to match the wrappers shown on Dave H's blog on Topps that are from the late 1930s and early 1940s. Any thoughts as to when this round box is from? Please feel free to show your other early (pre card) Topps items.

Alan
