Bright red government-issued circa 1950s 'burn box' with clasp for a padlock on the front of the lid, measuring 12″ x 28″ x 12″, marked on all sides in white: "For Classified Material Only." The top is stenciled "201," and bears a partial "Sold" label. Likely originating from a police station or courthouse, a bag would have been affixed inside to collect sensitive papers related to court cases or investigations—then burnt to ensure proper elimination. A visually appealing relic, once filled with secrets awaiting their destruction.
