They say there's money to be made from photography - maybe not by the photographer through!
And this is only one box!
A lovely Topper Made by persons unknown decorated the post-box outside the Post Office in Swanage, Dorset.
The sides of this box are a single plank of wood, almost certainly cedar, that was bent in three places.
How was this done? Well, once the maker had fashioned a plank to tolerances that might challenge a modern furniture maker, the maker cut a groove widthwise across the plank at each of the intended corners. Considerable skill and craftsmanship went into planning the shape of the cut and executing the plan. The groove was deep, but it did not go all the way through the plank. Then the wood was steamed to soften it. When the wood was soft enough, the plank was bent 90 degrees at each of the grooves until the two ends of the plank met. Voilà , a bentwood box!
I'd assume the ends of the plank were fastened to each other right away and, if it were me, I'd attach the bottom promptly to prevent warping.
As for the art, the images are highly stylized animals common to the coastal environment. The iconography also included what some Europeans would call "mythical" creatures, though the First Nations people probably thought of them in different terms.
The selection and combination of images communicated complex and important information about the box's owner and the owner's family and clan.
If you want to study this subject deeply, read The Transforming Image: Painted Arts of Northwest Coast First Nations, by Bill McClellan and Karen Duffek, Douglas & McIntyre, Vancouver/Tornonto, University of Washington Press, Seattle (2000).
The Canadian Encyclopedia provides the following information about the Tsimshian peoples:
"The term Tsimshian (Tsim-she-yan, meaning "People of the Skeena") is often broadly applied to all those northern BC Indian groups speaking languages of the Tsimshian language family: NISHGA (or Nisga'a), GITKSAN and the Coast Tsimshian. The latter, sometimes referred to as the Tsimshian Proper, included groups along the lower Skeena River from the Kitselas Canyon and Kitsumkalum (near Terrace) and the adjacent coast south to Milbanke Sound, including Port Simpson, Metlakatla (in the Prince Rupert area), Kitkatla, Hartley Bay and Kitasu. The population of this latter group is 6569 (1996c)."
"In 1887, a group of 825 Tsimshians following missionary William Duncan moved to a site near Ketchikan, Alaska, where they founded the settlement of New Metlakatla. Archaeological excavations in the harbour at Prince Rupert have unearthed the remains of cedar plankhouse villages that date back 5000 years; thus, the Tsimshians claim one of the oldest continuous cultural heritages in the New World. Tsimshian groups are also generally held to be related historically to the Penutian peoples of Oregon and California."

In our last installment of "The Box", Phillip exaggerated himself and Marble off of the Empire State Building by stating the exaggeration "Our house is made of gingerbread" and so it was.
"AWWWWWWWW!" screamed both Marble and Phillip.
"Muahahahaha!" chanted the ants.
"Marble, I am not that hungry anymore."
"You know what we need to do Phillip."
And they both chanted the exaggeration, "We are stuck in a box, we are stuck in a box."
"Don't forget with a llama named Greg," reminded Phillip.
And so it was, both Marble, Phillip and Greg the llama found themselves still stuck in the box.

Did you know
that Tree experts (Arborists)
have theorized
that when a Box Elder Tree
is infested w/BoxElder Bugs-
one sign of that
is the resulting red color to the wood?
Boxelder bugs are not a serious problem every year.
They are most abundant during hot, dry summers when followed by warm springs.
They were very numerous in 1988, 1987, 1978, 1977, and 1975.
They were also abundant in 1958, 1949, and the hot dry years of 1936 and 1935.
Etiology of Red Stain in Boxelder
A ubiquitous red stain can be found in the sapwood of living boxelder (Acer negundo L.) throughout the range of the species. Because the stain is so frequently encountered, it is often considered to be a reliable characteristic for identifying boxelder wood
Instead, the stain appears to be produced by the tree as a non-specific host response.

The shipping geniuses at Beckman Coulter sent this box. Note the "prevent back injury" and "bend knees to lift" markings. The box seemed much too light to cause back injury. Indeed, inside was only the sheet of paper with directions for the product shipped previously in a bigger, heavier box. Plus crumpled packing paper, to protect the printed paper from, um, shock and impact. Not only could they have e-mailed the instructions, they've sent zillions of copies over the years, and I hardly need another copy. This is the same company that has a history of not padding the shipments of glass bottles of toxic, flammable, expensive solvents adequately, resulting in breakage. But the sheet of paper is well packed.
Shrewsbury station and signal box seen
the Lea Valley Railway Club "Ffestiniog Orbital" railtour going round the Abbey Foregate curve.
This tour ran from Euston to Wolverhampton where the tour split. Half the tour got on DMUs down the Cambrian to Pwllheli and back to Porthmadog followed by the Ffestiniog railway to Blaenau Ffestiniog and 40122 back to Stafford. The other half of the tour did the same circle in the opposite direction.

It is fortunate that photographers sometimes kept exposed and developed color photographs in the original box. We find the boxes to hold very interesting information from the "use by" date, December 1913, for this box of plates to the handwritten notes on exposure and development.

There was more than a hundred people waiting outside the Disney Store this morning. Fortunately most of them were after the Mickey merchandise, and I got picked in the raffle for Jasmine. Several collectors that I knew were also there, but none of them got picked. I selected the first doll that was handed to me at the register, since she looked perfect. I didn't bring my camera, so no photos from the release. She is #425 of 4000. I show her boxed, and with the inner box taken out and the front viewing window taken off. She is very beautiful and my second most favorite doll from the series. She is first one that I managed to get from the store raffle, so I could take her home on release day. I will debox her tomorrow.

I only need five more blocks, but I think I may start to arrange these a bit so I can see how much white I want in those last five blocks. I got a kick out of the blocks on the top right...just a half inch square surrounded by white :)
The Kenilworth Camera was manufactured by the Standard Camera Ltd. company of Birmingham, England in circa 1930. It was a simple box camera designed for capturing 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch exposures on either number 120 or number 620 roll film. It was constructed with a cardboard front which is hard to find in good condition. The first models featured a round viewfinder window and later model II version has a square window. It came with a fixed focus meniscus lens, and a simple time and instantaneous exposure shutter.
Considering it's age it has a bright viewfinder that is actually usable..
