- Brown hard-sided travel case with metal corner brackets, reinforcing along all edges, wooden runners along the bottom, front, and back of the case, a leather handle on the lid attached with leather brackets and metal loops, and three metal clasps - the centre one has a keyhole. Attached to the right-hand metal loop of the handle is a leather travel tag with nothing in it. Throughout the exterior of the case are three faded and worn red and white “FRAGILE CANADIAN PACIFIC EXPRESS” stickers - one on the lid and one on both the front and back - and a Canadian Pacific Railway “DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC RELATIONS” label with a very faded stamp with Morant’s details. Also on the lid is a gold and red sticker is in the left corner with the case’s manufacturer name - no information about “G.R. TAYLOR & CO.” could be found online.The interior of the case is lined with purple fabric and only contains a small white fabric bag with what feels like rice inside, sealed shut.
