This looks to date to the mid to late 20th century, leather was once a chocolate brown but has now faded to a lighter mocha tone, brass mounts a little rubbed from polishing although it has a latch plate there is no lock to marry it up to, the weight of the lid keeping it shut, minor rubbing to the feet.
