<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 10680320, member: 79460"]The lining could have been replaced at some point. Maybe it got tired and was overhauled. It possibly started life as a campaign case and was then upcycled into a ballot box. The work around the slots looks a bit different. It might not have seen much use in it's latest form. Maybe the owner was expelled with his box or someone made a better one. So many variables. It just looks like the slots were made to take coins or tokens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
