A brass tobacco box, made in a curved shape to fit the pocket. The hinged lid is on the inner, flat side and is decorated with a rising sun crest and a scroll inscribed: 'F. Pywell.' The donor, F. Adams, said that such containers were usually made by the artisan branch. Adams and the maker Frank Pywell were both blacksmiths and served together on HMS 'Irresistable' and 'Osiris II'. Pywell was not satisfied with the inscription of his name so he gave the box to Adams. The rising sun was the P & O Crest. Before the war, 'Osiris' and her sister ship 'Isis' had carried mail from Brindisi to connect with the company mail steamers at Port Said.

Slices of tobacco fitted neatly into boxes of this shape. They were carried in the trouser waistband or in the jumper pockets.
