Paymaster's box?

Here is some info on it. Might give you a few more clues.

Looks like a tool box.

There is a S&S Manufacturing in Katy Texas https://www.ssmfgco.com/about that appears it might be old enough to be the same company that manufactured the box in your picture. If it is they might have someone on staff that can ID it for you. Maybe.

There's another S&S manufacturing in New Jersey, but it was started in 1985, so not old enough by a long shot.

Good luck.

Judging by the lack of an opening or slot on top I was thinking Sargents Suggestion box.
