Dimensions: 3 1/8” x 4 1/8” x 1”
All here, except the watch! “A30A” code on papers perhaps indicates January 1930 printing. Only 3/10/1925 patent on box—Pat pend gone. Note price tag also has instructions for a true leather-covered box. Not hinged. Felt covered insert, with hook for bow and fold out kickstand for lifted display.

That's beautiful, don't think I've seen this exact combo before. Interesting a leather variant. I like the two piece cases too.

Yeah boxes of this type from Star that get an automatic 1920's date assigned, often can date to the early 30's.

Excellent example.
