<p>[QUOTE="Rufus Shinra, post: 852656, member: 11709"]That's what's so odd, there is no latch and never was on the bottom hidden drawer, which seems to me it was meant to be concealable because otherwise why wouldn't it have a latch, handle or knob on it so it's easier to open? Someone mentioned it's probably not meant as luggage because it's wood and it would get broken up being tossed around and such, so that makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>The box is 14 inches tall by 18.5 inches long.</p><p><br /></p><p>The more I think of it, could it have been used for document storage? Like a lawyer or someone transporting important documents? The main compartment is large enough that paper can lay flat, and the hidden drawer on the bottom maybe someone would roll up papers and put them in there? Papers are the only thing that really wouldn't get damaged by moving the case around, because solid objects would rattle around and such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
