Chaplain trunk?

Found this at a garage sale today. Looks to be vietnam era? I'm thinking this was made for some chaplain kit, but not sure. Thoughts on what this may be for?

 

Thanks

That looks like a pioneer tool box. Any markings inside the lid (paper label)?

 

The lid should have a small chain to keep it from opening too far. I can get measurements from a pioneer tool box later. There were a few sets that mostly differed by contents.

My guess is that he needed a wooden box and this one worked for whatever purpose he had for it.

 

It's a neat box though. I'll get some measurements for you to compare later. I'm 100% certain this is a pioneer tool box that was repurposed and that makes it neat.

Here are some rough measurements, about 36" long and the lid is 9 1/2 inches across. I can get better measurements tomorrow if you would like.

This is not part of any authorized chaplain equipment to my knowledge.

Perhaps just a good box to store items in and the person who did it was a chaplain.
