Picked up this Dr. Pepper 6 pack carrier!

Been gone for a while, I was pretty busy with a new job and the holidays. I sure miss those blue pages! Anyway, I recently picked up this Dr. Pepper carrier and I need some info on it. It's in rough shape, but I can't find it pictured anywhere. It has 6-55 on the bottom so I guess that makes it from 1955. Looks like it held 6 packs. Any info would be appreciated.

It looks like a 6 pack of quarts, maybe 16 oz.. What's it made of, press board? What are the dimensions?

It says on the bottom it is made of Corrugated Solid Fibre (Thick Cardboard). The dimensions are 14 1/2 inches long X 10 1/4 inches wide X 4 1/2 inches tall.

Ah, measuring my thumb and trying guess was way off.[] I can see four 6 packs fitting in there now.
