This is just a guess but it looks like a salesman's case to me. Are they for 18s?

Scott,
Nice looking, unique case. I have an interest in these small watch cases. Could you tell me the outside dimensions?

It held 16 watches but the top tray is missing

Hey Scott,

I found one of these recently, but mine has space for four 16 size and four 12 size Hamiltons. I'm having trouble posting pics since I've moved so I can't share right now. One thing I'm sure of, there is not enough room for another tray in mine. It was made for just 8 watches. Love the purple liners.

Very nice John

I too, do like that. What are the outside dimensions?
I wonder how many other variations are out there? Edward how did you arrive at a 1940 time period for this one?
