Okay you radio gurus, I found this cabinet that I didnt know I had, buried in my garage. I can tell from the markings that it is a storage box for radio crystals, but have no idea from what era this is from. Enlighten me, please!!

Michael,

Crystal storage chest for SCR-543-D (BC-669-D). The missing drawer would be labeled "CRYSTAL UNITS DC-34". DC-35 are receiver and DC-34 transmitter crystals.

The TM supplement on the -D model is dated 1/12/44, so generally speaking latter part of WW-II for vintage. The nameplate on your chest is dated FY 45, so ordered 1 JULY 1944 or later.
