RARE!!!

As found. I only washed it quickly with a water hose to get the decades of dust, dirt & dried up junk out of the inside and dried it quickly in the hot sun.

The metal inserts inside of the end hand holds do not match. One is plain and rusted and the other is aluminum or some other non-rusting metal and dated 1910. I don\'t know which is original. The hinges are a little loose and the latch is tricky, but work. Part of the paper state of Missouri label remains on one end and I was careful not to get it wet.

Please see photos for the best description. The difference in the color of the wood depends on if the photo was taken in the sun or the shade.
