Only issue is that one of the flanges to screw the base to a surface is broken off but I think it'll be perfectly useable.

Not sure what to do with the saw yet cleaning and sharpening-wise but I'll figure something out.

Any way to date this?

Wow I've never seen one like that before. It must be pretty old

I think that's called a "Picture Frame Saw" instead of a miter box. It's just for 45s.

I am posting this link, this person here retores what appears to be your style of miter box, he might be able to make a bottom casting for your broken one.
