Default Vintage metal Detroit Tigers desk set Time Frame help

I recently acquired a antique Detroit Tigers metal hinged box. The box is made of heavy metal with a copper tint.

Approx what is the age?

I think it's from 40s to mid 50s. Hopefully a devout Tigers fan can chime in.

Are we positive it's Tigers-related?

Could just be a gothic-style initial "D" for recipient's last name. Desk Sets were very popular gifts back in the day, and were often/easily personalized.

If there is no other identification on the piece, it would be difficult to call this a Detroit Tiger item.

I saw that listed on Ebay for some time, I came to the belief that it is just a desk set with an initial for the owner.

Here is a link with all of the logos used by the Tigers and this one just does not really come close to any. The floating post on the outside and the short second inside post on the D, are not something that you see on any of these logos.

After extensive research of the font's the Detroit Tigers used it matches the one used in 1917.
