Circa 1948-1960. It lights up but non working/tested. No key for the lock but a former owner left the unit unlocked. Over the years people have used these in their homes and offices not only for nostalgic decor but as a Rol-A-Dex to store telephone numbers. Per normal for something of this age there is some chrome pitting but overall exterior is nice. Unit measures 12"W 13"T and 5&3/4" D. No shipping, pick up only.
