1. Tea chest

   A tea chest is a type of wooden case originally produced and used to ship tea to the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The conventional tea chest is a case with riveted metal edges, of approximate size 500x500x750 millimetres. The term is now used more widely to indicate similarly-sized cases, including cardboard cases, produced for various home and commercial uses. A tea chest holds 42 to 58 kilograms, the size depends on the origin and client. Sizes vary from 400×400×620 to 500×500×750 mms. The construction was plywood sheets, held at the edges with metal edges, riveted to the sheets. Internally they were lined with metal foil, and strengthened with inch-by-inch boards at the edges. There was no opening as such, one simply removed one of the sides. The foil was stated as lead in this Bushell's 1925 advertisement but later changed to aluminium foil. Tea chests full of tea were also shipped to where tea was sold by weight, rather than by packets. Tea chests were one-trip affairs, so they were generally sold for non-food use.
