- Hard-sided black carry case with a hinged lid and unlined wooden interior. All corners are capped with metal, mostly rusted - three metal latches are also extensively rusted (the centre one is a lock latch). Running along the length of the lid and the bottom of the case are two parallel wooden runners. Also on the lid is a hard leather handle attached to the lid with metal loops - attached to both handle loops are several remnants of paper tags and a leather travel tag with a clear plastic window. Visible through the window is a stained paper tag that reads “N Morant Special Photographer Public Relations and Advertising Canadian Pacific Banff, Alberta.” Inside the lid is a “NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA Exposed Negative” card depicting a woman in a pale green bikini. Drawn on the inside of the lid in black, yellow, and red is a caricature of a face with a thought bubble that reads “AUNT MARTHA LIKES THIS ONE.” The exterior of the case is covered in faded and torn travel stickers and labels, there is also “D7” spray painted in yellow on the lid under the handle, on both short sides, and on the back. Inside the case are three black “KODAK HARD RUBBER TANK 4x5” containers. In one tank are two cardboard boxes - one is green and contains an Eastman timer and the other is a yellow “EASTMAN THERMOMETER” box with the thermometer inside. The second tank contains two circular metal supports for developing rolls of film negatives, a white metal Kodak film canister (empty), and a blue cardboard box with another metal film processor inside. The third tank contains a cylindrical container that has something inside of it, but it does not open.
