Old Wooden Boxes

I collect old wooden boxes, From anywhere that I can. I collect them from garage sales and, From the handyman. From the local dump or old backyards, Or clearance sales on a farm, They’ve all lived a life of hard and tough, And exude a certain charm. Beautiful trademark names of Soft drinks, cordials, or fuels. I value these boxes, for show inside, A lounge roomed sort of jewel. I love finding old wooden boxes, Finding them out of the blue. I wonder, are you the sort of person, That likes old wooden boxes too? 17th July 2016 Hi, this is for the old jewellery or anything old contest by Broken Wings. Awarded 2nd place

Congrats on your win! I'm fascinated by your collection, Lewis! It's so unique and 'am curious to know if you use them as decor or utilise them in some way. I have three and one chest which may be close to 80 years, but I'm sentimentally attached to it. I use all to keep essentials. Balveen

Excellent and good luck finding someone to light your fire. Australian hardwood is really good. You send some here. Makes hard cases. Old wooden tea chests used to be great for all sorts of things. Kept rats and mice out. David from other side of ditch.

Yep, I've about 20 old boxes and there's no way I'm burning Amy. Love them all, specially the old coca cola ones
