Description: | The box has a centrally positioned handle on top. It is hinged one-third of its width on either side of the top and has two flaps that open to reveal removable and sub-divided trays. Two drawers open from the front of the box - one of the drawers is narrow and has a bone handle; the other is much wider and the main container of the box. Key holes with locks remain on either side, possibly from an earlier use of the wood. The original owner of the box left the leather trade to join Austin.
