I made a mistake. The Farrington manufacturing company goes further back to 1 june 1911. Before that it was called A. W. Farrington Company. Farrington closed in the 1970s (some merger). I saw newspaper bits with the address 100 BOYLSTON STREET Boston, but that might be an office. The factory was located on jamaica plain inbetween green street and Williams street.

A lot of early patents on spring hinge, spring lids and metal boxes.
For example (1905): “This invention relates to boxes, and has particular references to metal boxes comprising two members hinged together and provided with spring devices for holding the said members in either closed or open position”.

Together with the fact that this box doesnt have the service crest but Gruen Wrist Watch Stamped and an older booklet, I will date it now to 1910s.
