Leonard,
Here are a few pictures of an oak box with copper covered cedar lid, also has rope handles.

If interested? I can take some pictures of another similar box, it is walnut with a copper covered lid, leather handles, and a large leather strap to hold the completely removable lid on.

Here's the steel "job box" type like you can buy at Northern Tool and similar places, also Knaack makes some nice ones, this is 2'x2'x4'

And here's the old version of the above box, all riveted together. I would like to know who made it, when, and for what.
