Description

Wooden box, found in the walls of the house at 17 Becker Lane during the 2002-2003 restoration. Box flips open to reveal 9 compartments, six of which are filled with glass jars and vials. Containers are marked as caulk or caulk fillers. Box was perhaps a carpenter's kit?

Box is one of a number of objects found at the same time, in the same way. Objects are catalogued together due to their provenance. Further research and comparison with the other objects in the cache should help shed light on this.
