DescriptionA home-made rectangular wooden tool box, made by either Alfred or Bernard Lake, with a trapezoidal cross-section. The lid has been made from two pieces of wood nailed together end to end with two supporting struts on each edge of the lip. There are semi-circular wooden handles on either side of the box, and one side has a large repaired crack running through it. It has a metal latch where a lock was once attached.
