<p>[QUOTE="Wraith_3, post: 4537731, member: 78007"]This box came from my grandpa's attic and he doesn't remember what it is (he's turning 99 in Dec.). It has a mechanism on the side, that I assume does "something", but I have no idea. It measures 15 1/8" tall x 9 1/8" x 9 3/8". When you pull the rod, it pulls the lever at the top, which is tensioned by the flat spring. I don't know what it is supposed to do though!
