For Fun: Name this Eighteenth-Century Object



A hint: the top and left-hand panel of this object are hinged; the top swings down and the left-hand side swings in to make it more compact and portable.

If you've got a spare $1.5K - $2.5K lying around, this object can be yours from Bloomsbury Auctions, an antique dealer in NYC.

Any guesses?

safe deposit box or book

A toilet or a contraband container disguised as a book.

I'm no longer afraid to assume the worst.

I think it's a toilet I agree with Isaac.
