Subject: RE: Where can I get a tea chest?
There are some modern ones for sale here in NZ on TradeMe, the EBay equivalent. As Q says, they don't look too strong. Originally, the metal edging was perforated and formed with 'claws' that were pressed into the ply. You had to destroy them, not take them apart.

These for sale originally contained Ceylon tea, in bulk. Much is now pre-packaged there.
