The sliding dovetail lid reveals a upper storage compartment:
It also unlocks the pivoting mechanism allowing the lower compartment to be reached:
On the underside of the swinging section I found a date - cool!
And its easy to see where some past owner or owners checked their spelling and arithmetic:
Heres the mystery. The bottom isnt really the bottom. It has a full length dovetail that connected something else to this box. What was it? Another level with more storage? Has anyone seen a more complete version?
For one of my next projects, Im going to try to make a reproduction of this box, but Im not sure what to do about the missing section(s). Any ideas?
