About MeGrey rectangular plastic punnet with removeable and retractable handle (black) and a spare handle (blue).The punnet or box narrows slightly to the base and slits at regular intervals along both long sides. In the centre the long edges are raised to accommodate a handle across the width - this can be raised or lowered as the handle is secured by small protrusions through slits in the punnet. At both short ends there is a protrusion which is the same height as the handle when depressed or retracted. These features allow the punnet to be nested/stacked when empty.
The base of the box has a moulded inscription:
Chargeable Empty
10 New Pence
The handle has a moulded inscription: Smedley's
The spare (blue) handle has a moulded inscription:
