Description
This is an original World War 1 era sailor's 'ditty box'. All sailors entering The Royal Navy were given a ditty box to keep their personal possessions in. This example is made of pine with a brass plaque on the front and it comes with its original working key. Inside the lid there are strips of wood for keeping papers behind and there is also a pen tray and small glass inkwell. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
