A container construction which includes a pair of mating shells and in which a perimeter seal may be optionally used to provide a fluid tight seal and preferably a water tight seal surrounding an interior compartment of the container when the two shells are disposed upon one another. One of the shells is provided with an outwardly struck rim and a perpendicularly located shoulder. The second of the shells is also provided with an outwardly struck rim and also provided with a perpendicularly arranged shoulder such that the rim on one shell will match and abut against the shoulder on the first of the shells and the rim of the first of the shells will abut the shoulder of the second of the shells. The seal is provided with a unique construction so as to match the rim arrangement between the shells and when used therewith, will provide a water or fluid tight seal to the interior of the container.
