No idea what this is or what the letters might be.
What are/were the names of the local water, electricity, gas companies?
Either that or a prototype slime monster trap...

it's changed over the years. I'll check what it was back in the 50's
Can you try that thing where you put a sheet of paper over the letters and gently rub a pencil sideways over it, see if you get any more details on the letters?
Is that another cover lid with screws? The letters look like C U B E, though it could be a 6 and an 8 where I think it's C nd B
Not sure it helps, but I fiddled with the levels & stuff to try to make the lettering clearer. Didn’t have much success, but I do see something that could be ‘co’ to the right:
It's Latin.
It says "Don't dead open inside."
