Three pictures from the old slide box.
Looking toward Stoke from the Grange Junction box showing the Derby to Crewe rattler !
This was my Grandfather's tool box. He died in 1935. It has his initials on it. My Dad gave it to me many years ago.
The corners are joined with finger joints. The top and bottom are tongue and groove boards that are nailed to the sides. The latch is a hook and eye. The handle on the lid is a bail type with stops. It lifts up 90deg and then hits the stops. There are five holes in the plate but it is attached with just two screws.
I think this is more of a storage box. Not a job site box. The handle and the latch are not in proportion to the volume of the box. If this box were fully loaded it would be very heavy. The handle would be uncomfortable after a short time to carry. It would be awkward to carry because of the width the box would bump on your knee. The latch would easily pop open dumping the tools out.
I use it now to store some other smaller tool boxes.

Rushden Gates Railway Signal Box
Seen at the Rushden Historical Transport Society RHTS Rushden Station
The Alka Box (c1953) is just one of several attractive box cameras made by Vredeborch of Germany. This example has a soft plastic handle, parallel to the sides of the camera, while some have a diagonal handle (similar to the one on the GAP 6x9 box). Another Alka Box variation is that some included a built-in yellow filter, rotated into place by a knob below the lens (located where the 'O' in 'box' is). I have also seen a knob-less example where the 'O' was not filled in -- it was just a silver circle without the black inside. Most Vredeborch box cameras have the awesome nifty-fifties covering seen here, but some had the standard run-of-the-mill pebbled covering (also similar to the GAP).
So many old box cameras have viewfinders that are almost completely useless - tiny, yellowed, dim & dirty. This camera's finders are the exact opposite. They're large, bright, clean, and crystal-clear, which is pretty good for being 60 years old!
Evercreech New box was situated on the up platform and was basically a L&SW Type 4 box, but on the S & D (Type 3) these had gabled ends instead of hipped roofs, probably to reduce costs. It contained a 20 lever Stevens Tappet frame and opened on 11th January 1920, replacing an earlier S & D box that had been destroyed by fire in October 1918. The stone base may have been from the original structure. The box closed before the line itself on 11th October 1964, following closure of the goods facilities. Note the L&SW roof ventilator and fine platform lamp.
More boxes made from recycled wool sweaters. The brown, blue and orange fabric is a vintage print. Glass beads accent the corners where they've been nipped and tucked. See my profile for more info.
The Grade II-listed box, framed by the footbridge. The latter is in a rather delicate state, such that only one person is allowed on it at a time (and it is kept padlocked).
The 30 lever Saxby & Farmer (1874 Patent) 'Rocker' frame of 30 levers in Ancaster box would appear to have been second-hand as the frame dates from 1887, but the box itself opened on 1st December 1873.
Can anyone explain why some of the levers have only been painted white halfway down. Are they no longer in-use but have been kept to maintain the locking in the frame?
little box with lit.
I decided to make something completely different, so this little box
( or whatever you want to name it) was born. It was so much fun to make it ,so I made three other boxes as well.
The box measures about 6 /7 cm. diameter and is for 100% made of polymerclay.

This is a practice shot for this weeks SSC challenge - looking down. Two old storage boxes from a charity shop and some of the semi-precious stones collected from the floor of the Scratch Patch in Cape Town many years ago.

...Brey’s “boxes” are only boxes in a single sense. They appear ordinary and familiar from the outside, but at the point of contact, interaction or performance they begin to unfold. The material and situational complexity of works like Sutra, 2010, The Black Cube, 2012, Water 2013, The Uncanny, 2015 and others, reveal themselves to be constellations within a Caribbean universe. Through them, Brey speaks to the infinity of the natural world, the sublime possibilities of one’s dreams and imagination. In part, thee works also act as psychological container of fractured history, blurred and concise memories and through material, form and experience, enter the fifth dimension. ( Fragment from “Adrift”, 2019 )
welcome to my neighborhood! this photo was taken just a couple blocks from where i live. as can be seen peeking out from behind the road construction chaos, we have a fab old movie palace here :-)

Modified to two dollar bills from two squares.
I prefer to match the original model as close as possible, but in this case I was short on paper and had to make a few adjustments. I still like the final result, resembles a candy and still holds together with a minimum amount of folds. This is a simple and easy box to make. I raised the lid 1/8" for easy opening.
First build of boxes ten years ago... now, more room for weapons and other stuffs ;)

A Double Queen Elizabeth II post box on High Steet, Hungerford.
The left side has a 'stamped mail' official sign, the right, a very unofficial printed sticker reading 'More Love Letters Please'.
Crediton (West), is still wearing faded BR(WR) brown & cream in this 1977 photo. This box; along with Crediton East; opened on 2nd June 1875, and both were to the LSW Type 1 design. West contained a Stevens & Sons Tappet frame of 22 levers. East box was reduced to a Ground Frame in 1913 and closed completely in June 1970. The line beyond here to Coleford Junction, Copplestone and Meldon Quarry was singled in October 1971. An NX Panel was installed in the box in December 1984 when the remaining double track between Crediton and Cowley Bridge Junction was singled, Crediton then becoming a passing station on the single line to Barnstaple.
