A leather carry strap is attached to the short sides of the case with metal hooks - the strap is wrapped around the leather handle on the lid of the case, also attached with metal loops. Attached with string to the metal loops of the handle are a leather travel name tag (on a piece of orange paper is printed “NICHOLAS MORANT BOX 1288 BANFF, ALBERTA CANADA”) and the remnants of a Canadian Pacific paper tag. The exterior of the case has a collection of travel stickers and labels, mostly worn and torn - some still legible are from Whitehouse (Yukon), Waterloo (Ontario), Anchorage (Alaska), and St. John’s (Newfoundland).The interior of the box is lined with dark purple velvet and the main body compartment is divided into two compartments, one larger than the other.Inside in the case are two black Dallmeyer (London) lenses, both have tubes and caps that fit over the ends. The larger one is inside a small black box lined with purple velvet and the smaller one is in a leopard-print drawstring bag. Also in the case are two larger filters, one yellow and one red, in their own individual red velvet bags, a small yellow filter inside a black and yellow plastic “KODAK” box, and a metal base covered in green felt on one side and black felt on the other.
