Atropos Antiques has dated this piece to the 1850s.
Lined with green baize with lock and key and original carrying handle to top. Swivel hooks and eyes. Faux oak original painted finish.
Sometimes strapped to the outside of coach or carriage they were prone to suffer extremes of weather and as a result are quite rare, much rarer than the rods that ravelled within!
