Yes Jack, just like the picture of Mr. Blockhead, that's the round box shape that I want for my car's year of construction 1928.

As I posted in the other thread, here is a picture of the one on my Town Sedan. As far as I know, Mike's A-Ford-Able is the only vender that sold them and they are not listed in their catalog anymore. A few months ago they were offering the lid on (no tool box) so I can only assume they were selling off any remaining parts.

I was going to buy an extra lid but as usual I blinked and they were gone...
I also asked Mike's company. There is no longer to buy this type of oval box.

The fact that there was a lid individually makes it easy to replicate. But even the lid is no longer available as a single item. To make this myself, I think it is very difficult to make the longitudinal embossing hardly feasible with sheet and hammer.

Maybe if enough interest they will start selling them again.

It would be nice if someone opens here a request topic to ask who is interested. Then it turns out how many people would want this nice box.
