Donor bought the object at a garage sale. The woman who sold the item told the donor that her husband work on the Arrow and there were parts from the planes. MK 4 is stamped on the bottom of the box. MK 4 Arrow was built in the late 1950s. Could possibly be clips from an Avro CF-100 Canuck. Lid reads ' Nov 70', possibly refering to Nov 1970, however, A.V. Roe Canada Limited had closed at this time. A.V. Roe Canada Limited (more commonly know as Avro Canada) was founded in 1945, and ceased operations in 1962, following the cancellation of the Avro Arrow (CF-105).
