This is a little box which must have belonged to my great-grandfather who was a cabinetmaker. Unfortunately, he was dead before I was born.
some part is missing on the top; it must have been a locking part going into the square hole to prevent the initial sliding.
Note the two little pins. -- Sylvain, Brussels, Belgium, Europe - The more I learn, the more there is to learn

That’s a slick locking box. Think I’ll try to duplicate it, if you don’t mind. Looks like a neat leisure time project.

I love it, what a gem to get this from down the family.
Fill it up with grease and use it, it should get a life.
Welcome to the GBOC.
Best thoughts,
