The vintage box is constructed from marble and features a hinged lid with ebony and metal sides. The base of the prop is inscribed 'BD7513' which is an inventory number from British and Dominions Imperial Studios who owned the box before the studio was destroyed in 1936 and the piece was acquired by Pinewood Studios where Man of the Moment was filmed, it was almost certainly used in productions both before and after this.

An exceptionally rare artefact from this classic Norman Wisdom picture.
