P59 II container - what was its use??

[butterfly]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help...

Today a friend showed me a metal box and wondered what its use was, I said I would ask on the forum.

The box is impressed on the lid; P59 II JSP 1942

Would be nice to know what it was used for originally.

regards Kev
