I am guessing that the info you gave is on the paper roller and all that is on the metal is "the junior index, made in usa ?? Is that correct ??  I see that it does have the alphabet too but need to know what is on the metal part !!

Yes, you are correct.  The info is on the scroll and Junior index is on the side of the knob.  The alphabet is on a thin brass plate above the scroll window.  The box is made of steel painted black and it has two hooked arms on the back that can prop it up or hang it from a shelf.  The box measures 3.25" wide x 2.25" top to bottom, and 1.25" deep.  The bottom/back clips off but there are no other identification marks inside or out.
What do you think?

I inherited this bartenders guide and would like to know the value.  I have not been able to find any info on line or from local antique dealer.  It scrolls alphabetically through drink recipes.  At the top of the scroll it says "Standard Cocktail Index, Patented, compiled by Thomas C Crowley, 11 West 42nd Street, New York NY".  At the end of the scroll it is dated 1936.  On the side of the brass knob it says "The Junior Index Made In USA "
 Can anyone help?
