Saw these in several of the shelters in the SNP.

People even asked what they were for in the shelter registers, so I do not feel like it is a completely stupid question....

This is it

It is about 3" around, 6" long. Fastened over the opening with bolts backed up with a half a dozen washers so as to isolate /insulate it from the wood....

Also has a slot cut in the front to slidesomething into/....?

once upon a time the club tried to collect a dollar per night for staying in the shelter/hut and mounted these "pipe safes" as a collection point for the dollars

I remember they were in use in 1990 when I first hiked through there.

Which is why it didn't work, just like asking for donations at a hostel with no one there for oversight...
