In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the 1880s.
The 72nd Highlanders was a British Army Infantry Regiment formed in 1786 and active until 1881. A box like this would have been used in record keeping and for wage payment.
The box has two recessed metal carrying handles and comes with a working key. Inside it has a brass inkwell and a pen tray and a large lift out tray.
The box is in good condition for its age and has a lovely worn and aged patina.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
