[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4357970, member: 5066"]Thing is, these slide lid boxes are a little like "tavern table" a generic term similar to "bible box" or "candle box", same kind of thing. With that lock, it's doubtful OP box was used to store candles, ditto box above that sold at Pook. It is rare to see slide lids with a lock, guesses papers, deeds, money, etc, something rather important was stored in them I would think. To keep prying eyes of family members at bay perhaps. :eek:[/QUOTE]
