<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 10686591, member: 10012"]I think definitely that it was a ballot box. Fraternal orders would have no use for all the hasps and the lock. Slots would be internally covered and the box locked. Then the box would be transported to the counting site (courthouse?). The counting official would then open the box with his key. Perhaps the space in the bottom of the box was used to transport blank ballots? I would love to have one of these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
