John's Train Box:

This is a large box (around 10" by 15" by 6" high) with a marquetry lid.   The box is lined with padded crimson-red velvet.  The box itself is made from walnut.  Brass accents complete the ensemble.  The box was given to John for Christmas of 2006.  I seriously doubt that John, my cousin, will ever part with it, so don't ask.
