Square box with angle edges on top front and back. Hinged top that opens to reveal storage on left and right. Left is three vertical slots with notches. Right is two level horizontal storage shelves with oval front edges.
Hard to say what it was used for, most like this were custom built for items like surveying equipment or scientific instruments. It probably dates from the late 19th century based on it's construction. We'd retail a comparable for about $150.00.
