I found this small box at an estate sale recently and I don't know much about it. It contained all the misc Japanese items that I have pictured in this post, so I believe it is WWII Japanese, but I do not really know. I did not see any writing on it. I forgot to measure the box, but I believe it is about 4" in width and length, by about 3.5" high. There is an aluminum divider still in the box, but I do not know if that is original, as there are a few empty cuts out visible at the bottom. The box has a dovetail construction with small flat head screws as well, a small rotating latch, and a rope handle with a white toggle on it. I am not sure if this box is WWII Japanese or if it is even military related at all. Does anyone know what this box is?
Can anyone tell me anything about these misc items that were found in the box?
1) A white card with Japanese writing on it that I believe may be a business card.
2) A smaller wooden tag with Japanese writing on it with a hole at one end.
3) A razor blade still in the paper. Is this civilian or a Japanese military issue item?
4) Some kind of paper label in the shape of an arrow with Japanese writing on both sides. This looks like it could have slid over something like a pencil or something along those lines, as the paper is not glued together in the center, but has an opening if you squeeze the sides gently.
5) A Japanese Helmet star. I don't know much about these. Is this just a plain Army helmet star or something else?
6) A very small, but detailed hard rubber skull about the size of a dime. This was in the box and likely is just something very random, but perhaps someone has seen something like it before.
I don't know if any of these items are WWII Japanese military related, or perhaps were picked up after the war. Any help is appreciated though!
