Vintage storage box, made with pine. We believe this is a ferret box used for carrying ferrets for shows racing etc because there are two air vents either side. This box is extremely lightweight. It has been hand painted several times which gives it that vintage appeal. It would make a great toy box or tool box etc 68 length 40 height 28 width.
 
Many races are organised by International Ferret Welfare of Great Britain, a body which rescues and rehabilitates animals lost or abandoned by unscrupulous owners. In the words of the organiser, Chris Tyler, “The idea of holding races is to promote the ferret and raise money for rescue work”. No prizes are given, and bets are extremely modest, the average stake being 10p. As Mr Tyler says, “We must portray the right image all the while”.
