Assorted boxes. I especially like the La Belle Rubberoid and the Clauss scissors box. The two are from different times and it is reflected in the artwork on the boxes.

(insert whistling sound here) What a collection you have there btrwtr! All are in very nice shape ::tu:: The one I am most curious about is behind the Humason & Beckley box, is that an H. Sears MFG Co.? Also one more question, is that a mylar wrapping that you have on them? Thanks for sharing these spectacular pieces.

Yes that is a Henry Sears box. Very unusual graphics, kind of an Oriental motif. Years ago I wrapped some of them in plain old cellophane not too pretty I have to admit.

It originally held kitchen cutlery.

Prices on these are all over the place but generally not very expensive.

Fabulous box collection, BtrWtr; Better Writer, Better Waiter, Bitter Water, Bitter Winter, whatever.

Best group of boxes in the best of condition.

I like the LaBelle and Saville boxes. Gotta be quite rare.

Wow, thats a very rare old one. It has fantastic graphics. The cellophane does not detract from these beauties one bit and it is practical as well.
