    Hello, I have this box, it seems to be British and WW2 era, and it is similar to, (but not the same as) boxes I have seen for signal lamps (if you do a Google search for British WW2 morse lamp you see things that look very much like this, but they are not an exact match). Can anyone tell me exactly what it is for?

    Grenade included for scale. Many thanks, Doug

    I'd say it's for batteries here's a Aust counterpart. The dimensions appear similar.
    It is British & WW2 period. In the OP note the non conductive inner lid.

    There you go Ade better? Sorry about the US bit & clutter. Note it's the cheapened version to the UK version!

    Photo of the Aust case of the lamp taken from the AWM. OP certainly adds up to be a battery box.
