- A travel case made from some hard light-weight black material (possibly metal) with a hinged lid that closes with metal latches on either side of a latched lock. 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,

- Model of the Santa Maria ship on a base - the Santa Maria was the largest of the three Spanish ships Christopher Columbus used on his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. The ship has three masts with cross-masts bearing their own individual sails, all of which are painted - the foremost one has the image of two monarchs in a red oval surrounded by yellow rays, the mid-ship sail has the image of a red cross with a banner above it bearing the name of the ship, and the aft one has an oval with alternating red and white stripes. The front and middle masts also have smaller flags at the tops - the flag for the aft mast has come off and is on the raised deck behind the mast. The main body of the ship is painted red and blue and a cannon is pointing out the side - a hole on the other side suggests there was a second one but is now missing. There is a red-painted wooden lantern at the back. The whole ship sits on a wooden support.
