Notes

"This chest, like Brigham Young’s travel case, is a durable piece of work with no fancy wood or joinery. Its metal straps and bolts are made from hand-forged iron. The tool drawers inside are removable. The rough-hewn wood frame was covered with leather and decorated with a fine design of brass studs—useful yet attractive."
