<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ALittleBit, post: 440069, member: 8726&quot;]I like your idea, Bronwen, that this box is some form of portable cash register, and quite possibly used for paying staff or crew. The coins may have been kept in some sort of bag or pouch to stop it all rattling and together and the grills to keep any paper from blowing away.&nbsp; Perhaps the fact that the shield or whatever it is called on the lid isn&#039;t engraved may indicate that the box was used by more than one person so technically didn&#039;t belong to an individual, just the company or business??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
