Is there any lining? Should be tinfoil.

No tin lining or woodworm, I couldn't open the sliding top when it first turned up but it has dried out now and opens easily.
The top was screwed down at some time with brass screws I assume, as the whole thing is assembled with brass screws.
one handle needs a professional repair as the splicing has come undone on one side of one handle and the binding needs doing properly.
The boxes came out of an army barracks that was being closed, the guy used to clear them and break up redundant aircraft for a living.
I just stuck in the loft of the garage I will see if I can get it down and photograph it.
