To find a plane has been inset into the lid, with Walnut keepers. Lid is 3/4" thick pine panel, with the recess chiseled out to match the plane. About 3/8" deep

And a look at the other two planes ( a No. 78 and a No. 39 3/8) taking up the ground floor. Latch was salvaged off a case I was throwing away.
Finish is called Witch's Brew. There is also one coat of poly gloss over the Brew. About as close as I can get to Pumpkin Pine.
