[Lowfer] Boxes for construction ?

[Dave Brown]

Hi Alan
Sounds llike the proverbial 'Eddystone box'. Any markings?  Hammond 
boxes are available in a wide range of types, sizes and materials- 
their usual ID is 'H' followed by 4 digits. Most have a lid of the 
same material as the box but there are some exceptions, IIRC.
