Metal brackets on all of the corners and reinforcing along all edges - wooden runners along the bottom of the case horizontally. There is a leather strap that clips into loops on the short sides of the box as well as a leather travel tag. Attached to the leather strap is a yellow Canadian Pacific Railway travel tag with a piece of string. Throughout the exterior are various travel labels, mostly torn. On the lid is a white rectangular “Canadian Pacific” label that reads “Nicholas Morant, Special Photographer Canadian Pacific Ltd. care CP Transport” in typed text and “Banff Alta” written in black ink above a scratched out typed “Victoria, B.C.” Also on the lid is a piece of masking tape with “LEICA & FILM & ACCESSORIES” written in blue ink possibly by Nick Morant. The interior is lined with beige fabric and both the main body and the interior of the lid are divided into two equal compartments. In one of the body compartments are wooden slats that most likely sit on supports inside each part to create additional compartments at the bottom of the case, but they are not in place. The compartments in the lid are held closed with small pieces of leather that snap onto the front panels which hinge down on strips of brown fabric tape. Inside the case and lid compartments are a Leica camera and various accessories,

Three clasps on the lid, the centre one has a keyhole, no key.

Throughout the exterior are various travel stickers and labels, mostly torn.The interior of the case is lined with black paper and the bulk of the body is comprised of a particleboard insert separated into three compartments that sits on braces near the bottom, creating a hidden compartment underneath.Contents of the box include various camera accessories and equipment, as well as a collection of manuals for various film exposures. Includes a light reflector in a white bag with blue edges, a flash mount in a handmade red bag and the flash mount’s cords in a different dark red velvet bag (also in that bag are two extended triggers), a “Rolleflex” lens in a brown leather pouch inside a purple Crown Royal bag, eight manuals in a white “Canadian National Hotels” bag, two different sized yellow filters in clear plastic cases, and in a square cardboard box are two screws, a grey cable, a square lens and a 250 mm focuser, and a lens block.

Throughout the exterior are various shipping stickers, usually from CP Rail, “34” is stenciled on all sides, and a wooden name plate with Nicholas Morant’s information is nailed to the lid.

The camera is housed inside a pale grey metal case that leaves the back exposed - the section of housing that extends over the lens can be removed, but has small openings throughout in order to access it - another opening along the top at the very front of the lens housing allows the plastic-framed filter to be slid in. On either side of the camera are large black plastic hand holds - the left side one has an extra leather strap that fits over the back of the hand. Fitted into the left-hand grip is a remote trigger.

It comes apart into two pieces - the base, which is not removable, and the lid, which slides out to the right once it has been unhooked from the latch built into the base n the left hand side. The lid of the suitcase reads “J. R. GRICE / 9920 - 75 ST / EDMONTON / ALBERTA”. The foam on the apparatus has worn off, leaving black dust like particles in the suitcase. There are a set of two keys hanging from a brown strap connecting the lid to the base in the center of the suitcase.b) Silver and black camera in a brown leather case. The camera is secured in the case with a wide, flat screw at the base. The camera also comes with its original document outlining the features and instructions of the camera.

The camera is black leather with a silver body. There are two silver knobs on the base. The top has four knobs, a viewfinder, and a mount for flash. The smallest knob next to the viewfinder is used to release the lens, which opens from a square panel in the front. The lens is a coated Olympus Zuiko lens.
