The metal as well as the wood box are both very handsome. Good capture!

For me it is about similar shapes but different textures and materials and their relationship and arrangement. As always your angle extracts a terrific image from the subject.

"Well I found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box / Labeled tinsel and lights / Didnt know what I was I looking for / Maybe just a blanket or artifacts" (Whiskeytown)
The word that describes best what I'm looking at: Brilliant, Grant! Metal, wood, vintage feel & your famous light makes this one outstanding. Beautiful, man, beautiful. Thanks for this pearl. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Veal inside a metal box? Fantastic!

@Howard F.: perhaps the only way veal could be made more disgusting?

And what an odd metal box it is! Nice composition - I really like the metal on the wood. Beautiful processing as always.

Came back to see if it would accept my comment this time. For me it is about similar shapes but different textures and materials and their relationship and arrangement. As always your angle extracts a terrific image from the subject.

Very nice find Grand. I love the dark tones. I think a mix of metal and wood is always an interesting subject, regardless of the form they take.

the wooden box just below the metal one is strangely appealing to me -- not sure why... and the bokeh in the background is so soft -- beautifully done!

Small old dusty boxes of different sizes make me smile :) I love boxes! I like this black and white very much. Nice shot.

My guess is that this "Arrow" was the Arrow Food Distributor company bought by SYSCO in 1970. Since SYSCO is a restaurant/institutional distributor, I'd guess that's what Arrow was doing, and this was something packaged for restaurants or hospitals.

@Twelvebit: any idea what this particular product was...? it sounds a bit disgusting.

OK, here's what I've got. No entry anywhere, including the OED, for bruisettes. However, according to the OED, bruisse is another spelling for brewis. Derivative from the Old French brouetz --very "bruisette" if you ask me. Brewis, btw, is pronounced "broose." The definitions run: 1) Broth, liquor in which beef and vegetables have been boiled; sometimes also thickened with bread or meal; 2) bread soaked in boiling fat pottage, made of salted meat. So, my guess is something like #1, but I guess we'll have to fill out the concept with our imaginations.

@Twelvebit: wow - i appreciate your effort! i hadn't thought of going to the oed, and your explanation makes sense. but, this is a subject where i want to reign in my imagination...
