My grandfather worked for the Burlington in the Depression.  In the 1950's I remember him giving my family a porter step box for boarding passenger cars.  I have it in my model train room and would like to give it a new coat of paint.  The faded blue was applied by my dad in the 1950's when we received it.  It measures 13" X 17" X 9.5" high.  It is made of wood with three of the sides having a 4.75" diameter hole cut out.  Underneath on the fourth side is a piece of fabricated metal to hold rags.  I can't find any identifying marks on it.  Did CBQ make these or puchase them from an outside vendor?  What color would it have been?  Any information on this topic would be most appreciated.  Thank you.
