It has two clusters of sidewall perforations to allow steam from prepared food to vent out on the pail's sides. The unpainted tin swing handles are slightly oxidized & have a naturally aged patina.

There's no excessive surface scratches or scuffs. This early lunch pail or lunch box would have possibly accompanied a worker or even perhaps a soldier, holding warm beans or possibly porridge for consumption later in the day at a break. The color of the tin may have not been purely decorative but perhaps painted in blue to match the uniform of a Union Army soldier, matching the blue wool coats they wore into battle, thus allowing it to blend inas a sort of camouflaged personal accessory.Very nice.](Circa 1850-1875)Early to mid 19th century American folk art, antique primitive, painted tin lunch Height (with handles down) 6½" Height(with handles up)x 8" Width x 5" DepthWeight: 7.7 oz.
