Ditty box

Wooden ditty box, hinged and lockable (no key). Inscribed with ships' names, the brass name plate is uninscribed. The lid has three metal plates screwed to it, the front another three, another two at one end and a metal shoe cut-out at the other. The inscribed plates all appear to be German souvenirs of battle.
