A till can be added to any of our chests. What is a “Till”? A till is a box within a box. In period a till was used by merchants to hold small valuables and coins. Some period tills were found with lines and grids to aid the merchant in making change. The modern name for a cash register till comes directly from these medieval tills. Our tills slide back and forth on runners allowing access to all the contents of your chest, or they can be removed all together. Tills are great a place for small valuable things that may otherwise get lost, i.e., site tokens, spare change, car keys, etc.
