I've always loved and looked out for this signal box whenever I come to Brum. It's a work of art to my eyes.
Laura Keene, the lead actress in Our American Cousin rushed with water to President Abraham Lincoln's box after he was shot. As she cradled the president's head, drops of his blood stained her cuff. She gave the cuff to her niece, Virginia Adler Thompson, who preserved it throughout her life, before bequesting it to the Smithsonian in 1962.
Captain D.W. Taylor presented this cup to Robert Todd Lincoln in 1887. He explained that a White House servant had seen the president leave the cup behind on a windowsill just before departing for the theater, and had preserved it as a relic of that tragic night. The cup is a gift of Lincoln Isham, the great-grandson of Abraham Lincoln in 1958.
Abraham Lincoln: An Extraordinary Life, was on exhibit in 2009 as part of the Smithsonian-wide celebration of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. The exhibition showcased more than 60 historical treasures associated with Lincoln's life.
The National Museum of American History (NMAH), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, collects, preserves and displays American heritage in the areas of social, political, cultural, scientific and military history. The museum, which first opened in 1964 as the Museum of History and Technology, is located on the National Mall in one of the last structures designed by McKim, Mead & White. It was renamed in 1980, and closed for a 2-year, $85 milliomn renovation by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP from 2006 to 2008.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.

We found this house built out of an old railroad box car. It has been added on to so as to make a "double wide." As far as I could tell, this house was built this way because of poverty, not as a gimmick for tourists.
As I was going through my photos I noticed the home owner is standing in the doorway watching me.

The jewelry box includes a three sided insert. One side is smooth for displaying a pendant, another side has a pocket for elegantly presenting a ring, and the last side has two little eyelets to showcase a gorgeous pair of earrings. There is a little envelope to neatly secure the pendant chain, which fits perfectly into the pocket. The liner box has an inner chipboard structure for durability and strength
Today I will follow all the instructions and stick the little gizmo on my chest to monitor my sometimes irregular heart. It has to remain in place for 2 weeks, recording.

The authentic nameboard fitted to the front of Par box pictured on the night of 18th December 2017. The box originally had two GWR originals, the one of the front was removed a long time ago but the one on the rear of the box is an original. This one was fitted in the last few years when the box was repainted. Photo: Ivan Stewart.

Here are some of the parts for a new cigar box guitar
Here are some of the parts for a new cigar box guitar I'm working on.
Vitriol Works signal box located on the up side of the line at Chadderton. Thursday 18th February 1988
Vitriol Works signal box is a British Railway London Midland Region Type 14 design fitted with a 65 lever London Midland Region Standard frame which opened in 1953 in connection with the new Chadderton B electricity generating station, replacing a 1903-built 46 lever Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Standard design signal box located a few yards to the north. All of the glazing at the Manchester end of the signal box, with the exception of one pane by the front corner was bricked up in spring 1988 (the scaffolding can be seen in place). More problems with the windows meant the sliding sashes were replaced by 1997. The signal box was rewindowed and a new set of metal steps were provided in the mid-2000s
The signal box is fitted with a pair of British Railways London Midland Region maroon nameplates
Behind the signal box's location when the railway opened was Messrs Hannibal Becker and Company's works. It is shown on the 1848 Ordnance Survey map as Slacks Valley chemical works, and although the works does not appear to have been rail connected the name is thought to originate from the works
Thanks to Ingy the Wingy for the above info and for supplying the exterior illumination of the signal box by using his car headlights.

This art box is about 8.5" tall. It's an old wooden pencil box which I filled with school related stuff.
Radical slogans like "Equal Protection" and "Due Process" are festooned on the outside of the boxes.
Hexagon tessellation Box
Hexagon from 15x15 tant paper
32 division grid (in the center area)
3.6.3.6 tessellation in the center
After that, I collapsed this tess into an hexagon box (upper lid).
And added a botton box made with the same technique.
I have also uploaded a picture of this hexagon box. I looked for a box like this but could not find what I needed (a single sheet hexagonal box without seams on the top), so I did one.
I don´t know if that box is my design. Anyone has seen it previously?.
Typical storage boxes contain your items, but the inside becomes cluttered – making it difficult to find what you need. Rubbermaid’s Bento collection is designed to organize items, rather than just store them. The Bento Boxes have internal flex dividers, which enable you to divide the space by creating unique sections when needed. Boxes can stack vertically, or fit inside each other. Bento Trays can act as trays or covers, providing an extra layer of organization for the Bento Boxes, or hiding what’s inside. The Bento Collection is made from sturdy materials, and the heavy-duty decorative fabric enables it to remain out in your social spaces while complementing your home’s décor.

For Our Daily Challenge - Box
From a book (Impressionist Garden Gift Boxes) of punch-out-easy-to-assemble small gift boxes.There were 18 and these are the last four. I have never seen a book of them since. The book was crazy expensive but I found it on a reduced-to-clear table at a bookstore. One of those good finds. The promo says - Perfect for candies, jewellery, love notes, small gifts, special treasures.

Inside a magic shop, cut in half! This was the first photo I tried tweaking the environment before taking the snapshot. There's another where Hilly actually looks dead - her eyes are closed and her skin pale, but you can't really tell what's going on with the box, so I chose this one.
This is the only damage that made it through both the outer and inner boxes. Nothing damaged inside though.
