From what has been found, The Weber-Kirch Manufacturing Company was founded about 1862 in Keokuk, Iowa making many different agricultural, domestic and industrial goods for the consumer, farmer, rancher and business.  They had sales reps in 36 states and several foreign countries.  In 1919, they had sales exceeding three million dollars (,000,000.00).  The company was absorbed in the late 1950's by their chief competitor, Decker, who had been in business in Keokuk since 1864.
Some items on eBay as Decker Mfg. Co. may be concurrent with Weber-Kirch.  The last Weber-Kirch items were made in the early 1950's.
This box's design was made in 1908 and used through 1929.
