SOLD- vintage metal boxes- pair $20

so, if you know me at all, you know that i have an affinity for metal boxes of all types, styles and sorts. it's hard for me to hit an estate sale or auction and not come away with at least one (or two) in my hand. at least these metal boxes were small and didn't take up much room in the volvo, as i had a really prolific day of junking and needed every inch of that wagon. but, that's beside the point. anyway, here are a pair of vintage painted metal boxes with sturdy latches and hand-painted labels to boot- they'll be perfect to contain whatever you need contained. (8"x4"x2.5") please, help me downsize my collection. i have a bunch of other metal boxes, too, if you're in the market. make me an offer....

SOLD- vintage industrial metal storage box- $26/each

this great old pair of green, industrial hinged storage boxes came from an estate in the far reaches of NW seattle, and a house on a huge corner lot that was perched atop a ridge overlooking the sound. a true northwest architectural gem, the house was built by the original property owner- a woman- in 1955, and was full of all the items you might expect, and some of the unexpected. anyway, back to these awesome metal storage boxes. they are 12" x 18 x 3, have great brass handles with a handy label frame, and sport a hinged top that opens to reveal a vast expanse ready to store whatever your heart desires. (as long as it's less than 12x18x3) stack them on top of each other and double your options. these things are in perfect working order, and do show some of their age by way of scratches and spots- which, some might say, makes for a truly authentic vintage item. Buy the pair and i'll give em to you for $24/each. or, $26 per single.
