ditty box

It warned me against keeping "a ditty-box that others have a better claim to, and is like to cost you dear."

He wanted a ditty-box, too; something extra large and old, and strong, and a tray with a lock-up till in it.

An old man with a gray beard sat on a ditty box at the lee rail, sewing a pair of breeches.

The ditty box serves as the jackies desk, his table, his seat and many other things.

Never interfere with another mans ditty box unless you are looking for trouble.
