Like A Huge Silver Bar
This metal block looks like a huge silver bar or ingot.
This is actually a mild steel container (fabricated in the 1970s) that is turned upside down.
In those early years, it was used to store screws, washers, nuts, and bolts.

Metal Box and Metal Plates
Trading an old metal box for two pieces of metal plates: Was the trade a good deal?
I'd sold my metal box to an eBay buyer on July 4 for the same amount of cash that I'd used to buy the two pieces of Weider metal plates from a local health product company on July 5.

By the way, the paper bag is a nice souvenir item to collect.
