Small box with a vintage advertisement for Champagne Taittinger from Reims, France. I bought this at a garage sale for 25 cents. At the time I bought this, I had no idea what I was going to do with it, and as always, I found a use for it after I brought it home. This often happens when I buy things at garage sales. I found this picture online when I googled "Champagne Taittinger advertisement", and learned that the woman in the black dress is Grace Kelly, the American actress who became the Princess of Monaco.

When people ask me if I'm Matt, and assume "Unpacking" is some kind of thinly-veiled autobiography, I can prove it's fiction by pointing to the fact that unpacking my boxes is one of the first things I do whenever I move.
Also: I am not nearly as sarcastic.
Swinderby signal-box a listed Midland Railway Type 3b box opened on 6th January 1901, and fitted with a 16 lever frame the same as most boxes on this line. The signal-box looks to be in a much more original condition that Fiskerton an identical box seen in the the previous photo, the windows are in the original style but look to be modern replacements, also you do not see many signal-boxes these days with a veranda complete with handrails.

I made these for my sewing room with trim that was going to be discarded from some work done in our building.

I found this old wooden box with metal studs just sitting on the bed. It was square, and it spoke to me of an interesting history and being treasured & loved by its owner
In 1942 the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy modified some of their 50' automobile boxcars to carry wings of B-26 Marauder bombers to an Army Air Corps assembly plant near Omaha. The CB&Q shops built 26" high side extensions and reattached the old roof to the raised sides. The wings were loaded and unloaded through the hinged doors on the 'A' end of the boxcar.
After the war these cars were used for high cube, lightweight loads such as appliances and furniture. The cars fared poorly in their new assignment — those types of loads weren't as robust as airplane wings — with cargo damage often the result of excess sway. Eventually the boxcars were put into general service alongside normal-height 50' cars.

This is a box for a 3-D Dimension Viewer made by View-Master. This is a device for viewing 3-D images on a paper disk. It was originally marketed as a way for viewers to enjoy stereograms of tourist attractions.

These two red telephone boxes were not in the greatest condition but they both had working telephones in them.
I enjoyed my visit to Coventry thanks for all your comments on my pictures.

In Southchurch Road, City of Southend-On-Sea, Essex. The post box was made by Andrew Handyside and Co Ltd at the Britannia Works, Derby.
As the aperture is not close off, I am assuming that this post box is still in use.
Photo taken in October 2022.
This box was still in use when we lived in Attleborough, including staff coming out to manually close the level crossing gates.
Sometime in the last ten years, the signalling moved to Cambridge and the gates were automated. I am not sure of the plans for the box.

The substantial Caledonian Railway type N3 signal box at Fouldubs Junction was built in 1908 with a 77 lever frame that was increased to 80 levers in 1951 before being reduced to 40 levers in 1972 after the locking was overhauled. It stands at the junction of the one time Orchardhall branch which wasn't actually a branch but a through line to Falkirk via Bainsford Junction. It was the fact either end belonged to different companies the North British and the Caledonian which got it the designation a branch line. It closed in 1968 as a through route although the eastern end between the British Aluminium Plant at Orchardhall and here at Fouldubs Junction remained operational until 1991. The box is located on the freight only Grangemouth branch and now just controls movements towards Grangemouth Docks and Grangemouth Oil Refinery as well as adjacent freight terminal sidings.
Being a freight line I guess there was plenty of spare time between trains hence the signalman's splendid array of Geraniums in the box windows and the raised bed veg plot at the foot of the box steps.

I really like how these photos look like collector's. They are wearing some of the newest fashion packs. Also, notice Asha/AA doll is there--still hope for her being produced! Maybe we'll get a wave 2?!

This is an old World War 2 "pill box" overlooking the small local airport between Gloucester & Cheltenham. During the war it was an RAF airfield.
To me, when very young, it was a viewing platform. My father used to bring me here, on the back of his push bike, to watch the aircraft.
We would sit on top of it with a drink of pop and some sweets, I thought it was a brilliant trip out.
Oh what simple pleasures when young!

Altered Valentine Candy Box I made for Heidi with her glittery monogram in center. I was inspired by all the Victorian & Marie Antoinette action action around blogland.

Wilmslow signal box located alongside between the Down Main line (in front of the signal box) and the Down Styal line at the south end of Wilmslow railway station
Wilmslow signal box was a British Railways London Midland Region non standard design, one of three similar signal boxes built in connection with the Crewe to Manchester 25kV overhead electrification. It was built by EB Jones and opened fitted with a Westinghouse Brake & Signal Company Limited one control switch panel on 26th June 1959 under stage 2 of the resignalling between Crewe and Cheadle Hulme, replacing Chelford Loop, Chelford Station, Chelford Sidings, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow Station, and Handford Sidings signal boxes. The signal box was closed at 01:30 on 10th December 2005 and demolished within a month during upgrading of the line between Crewe and Cheadle Hulme, officially closing on 19th June 2006 when signalling controlled by Manchester South Signalling Control Centre was commissioned

The impressive North British Railway signal box at Reedsmouth, stood on the platform in the vee of the junction of the Border Counties and Wansbeck Valley Railways. It replaced an earlier lower structure in the same location and contained a 50 lever Stevens & Sons frame, with only 5 spare levers. It remained open until complete closure of the line between Woodburn and Bellingham in November 1963. However, it escaped demolition and for many subsequent years became increasingly derelict before being converted into a dwelling. Sadly, in the process it has lost most of its original features.
During the Mexican–American War of 1846–1848 The Mormon Battalion cut a road around Box Canyon in the process of opening a southern wagon route to California. Parts of the road are still visible there. The battalion was a volunteer unit of around 500 Latter-day Saints men whose march of nearly 2,000 miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa to San Diego, California helped to secure the eventual cession of much of the American Southwest from Mexico to the United States. The only battle they fought was against a large herd of wild cattle in Arizona. Anza Borrego State Park, California, US
