Description
Semi-fitted wooden box with leather strap and ivory name plate. Intended for standard three-and-a-quarter-inch square lantern slides. Empty. Presumably Miss Willmott's slides have been removed so that the box could be re-used by F. Sherwood Taylor (Curator of MHS 1940-50) for his own or the Museum's slides; found empty in the 1980s.
