“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, "Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there." Erma Bombeck
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.
The Rimei is nearly identical to the Linden series of box cameras. With the exception of the added face plate and a red-colored hammertone finish (instead of black), in every other way, it's a dead ringer for the Linden "Lindi 6.6".
Sylvain Halgand has a close variant of this one with a slightly different nameplate, echoing the look of Braun's "Nimco" -
a "Rimei Box" made for Rimco (!):
(trans. by Pierre Yves Petit)
"This 6x6cm box is covered in red paint. It has instant and bulb settings, pseudo twin-lens-reflex framing. There is no LINDEN brand since this camera was made for a large retailer.
LINDEN put on the front plate a pattern that is also found on BRAUN cameras; the names RIMEI and RIMCO are close to Braun’s NIMCO. All of this accounts for LINDEN being one of Braun’s supplier – a supplier with some room for “creativity”. These industrial connexions and the retailers distribution system easily explain resemblances that have nothing to do with chance."

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.
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..
One of the oldest ancillary structures on the Northern Line is this former Great Northern Railway signal box, located at the end of the northbound platform at Woodside Park. It dates from 1876 and yet has not controlled trains since 1906. The GNR installed a replacement and more ornately styled box a few yards beyond, retaining the original for other uses. The 1906 box likewise survived as a relay room until very recently, both wonderful anachronisms that pointed to the High Barnet branch's GNR pedigree.

I love this design called "Bento Box" from the book Successful Scrap Quilts. It was a lot of fun collecting the fabrics and making the quilt.
I love the old pillar post boxes in the UK. This one dates to the reign of George VI. I snapped this on the grounds of Edinburgh Castle. I had to lay on the pavement to get the angle that let me capture the post box and the portion of the castle on the hillside behind it.

A unique little box by Dasa!
Box, made in single crochet from some cotton leftovers (white cotton donated by my Secret Pal 11, and some green and blue). I held the yarn double and switched colors randomly.
The box is stiffened with wallpaper glue. And it still needs a lid.
Birthday present for my brother. Didn’t want to just give him some gift cards, so I made a box for them!
