The exterior of the case has two torn and faded travel stickers/labels on the lid, one of which belongs to Canadian Pacific. “TR3” is stencilled on the case in yellow on the lid, the back, and the front. The interior of the case is lined in blue fabric and is bare except for a screw sticking up out of the bottom at the left-hand end of the case. A section of the Calgary Herald newspaper, dated July 21, 1961, was found folded in the right-hand end of the case.This case was most likely used to transport a tripod or other kind of camera support.
