Vintage mid century 1960s Russian made in the USSR wall clock box only.

This box originally would have held the parts for a do it yourself wall clock kit ( sadly all missing ). The instructions are present and readable. The box itself has over the years suffered with damp etc but I still think quite rare and collectible. It would be a great horologist gift. Age related wear.
