Ammo boxes come in many shapes , and serve very well . You can always use one until something which is more " original " comes along . If your roller is a Fowler , then their tool boxes were cast . David Ragsdale almost certainly has a pattern and can supply . What sort of a roller have you ?

You can also mount a box on , or under your footbopard . Many engines had these fitted . Some engines with canopies had a box on the back canopy irons , sometimes the size of a dwarf's wardrobe . It keeps the winter wind off your back . On a roof with deep wooden arches you can put a small box on the rear arch behind your head . Good for valuables ; anyone accessing it can be seen .
