Chris.
I agree with Chris here! You can see the holes in the side in the inside of box shot where the handles have been removed. You would not want to put many tools in there either. More likely a sewing/knitting box.
Here are some of my boxes where as Chris says, the small ones have a leather strap and in the case of my smallest box it's canvas.
None appear to have ever been painted. Just natural wood colour. Although I have satin varnished a couple after sanding the blackened wood.
Apart from one 1942. They are all dated 1945. Shame, as my FFW Morris is 1940. But then my WS11 set and ancillaries are all Australian........Beggars can't be choosers!! Ron
