Comments
The rectangular box, painted red with black pin-striping, has rolled, reinforced edges. The lid is stamped to create a domed section in the center with a scalloped border. The domed border is painted with yellow decoration. A brass post and bail furniture handle serves as a carrying handle for the box as well as a means of lifting the lid. A large rectangular hasp with a rolled bottom edge secures the lid.
Inside, the box has card holder on the lower left corner of the lid. The inside is unpainted.
