Lot 1025		A strong box recovered from the Nevada desert. This is an interesting story, our consignor was poking around in the area around Twin Falls, Idaho, near a known stage coach stop along the Oregon Trail with a metal detector, when a strong signal was heard. Digging down into the sand, he soon discovered this heavy metal strong box. One of the handles is missing, probably during some robbery years ago. The box itself is black in color, and in remarkably good shape for having been buried so long. The dimensions are 7¼ inches high, 12½ inches long and 8 ¾ inches deep. Obviously a secure box, as it weighs quite a bit. Don't try to lug this thing too far, its heavy! A conversation piece for a collector, or an excellent door stop.
