I'm putting this in the 1930s because my general sense is that before 1930, Gruen was pretty consistent in it's use of that dark brown tiger striped covering material. It seems like 1930 was around the time they started branching out with other colors and shapes.

I have looked long and hard at this box with a loupe in natural light and can find no markings whatsoever. If there ever was any identifying information, it must have been on a long gone sticker.
