| Summary: | A plywood mill lunch box (dark in colour) belonging to Allan Hillier, Grand Falls-Windsor. This basket was used by Roy Hillier, Allan Hillier's father, who worked with the raiway as a conductor. This basket was constructed by Charlie Hillier, Allan Hillier's grandfather. The basket was constructed in the mid 1960s and the matierals used are plywood with birch handles and it has been patched with tape. The holes on the front are there to "vent the food" according to Hillier, in order to ensure the smell of a particular meal does not stay with the basket. |
