Very nice find, Marco!

That fabrication material is certainly very durable, and must have been common in the 1930's and 1940's.

When my Mum emigrated to Canada as a War Bride from England after the war, she brought with her a collection of family photos in a box made of the same material, which is in excellent shape and still full of the photos, today. It was a container made for shipping HYSIL Laboratory Glass, from Chance Bros. and Co. Ltd, Glass Works, Smethwick, nr Birmingham.

Environmentally friendly stuff way before it's time it seems.

Wonder how many more military items from the war made of this material are going to turn up now?

David
