BOXES & CASES

For keeping your special itsy bitsy stuff in. The bottoms are sky blue; the tops are clear plastic. They measure 2-1/16” long x 1-3/16" wide x 5/8" deep, with snap-top lids and they’re just as cute as the dickens.

And so will you if you have this foldable storage box/wastepaper basket/toy box/whatever-container. Measures 10" x 10" x 1/2" thick when folded, but it pops open to a 10" cube with a solid bottom and little carrying handles on the sides. In red and cream canvas over boards you can't see. Reliable sources tell us these are in regular use in nursery schools for toys, books and supplies.

Just like (pretty much) the old steel ammo can GIs carried, and then carried home to their garage workshops, but in olive drab or black plastic, which doesn’t rust. Measures 11" x 7" x 5" with a gasketed flip-up lid, 3” latch and a 5-1/4” folding handle on top. Weighs in at a little over a pound.

Please Note: Our current stock is black and not sure when olive drab will be back.

This deluxe ABS storage case is called a Store-It-ALL, and it does. But it could be called a Carry-It-ALL, for the sturdy handle and locking clasp, or it could be called a See-It-ALL, for its translucent lid. Or a Fits-It-ALL, for the removable dividers that let you configure it with any number of compartments from 5 to 26. But the 12" x 18" x 3" OA case should really be called ALL-I-Ever-Needed-To-Get-Organized!

In several senses. These snazzy cigarette cases are made for the original, unfiltered short smokes (or roll-ups) and measure 3-1/2" square x 3/4" deep, or 3/8” deep per side when open, with those little elastic keeper bands. Quite suitable for carrying other stuff like business and debit cards, cash and bus passes. Plus, they make you feel like William Powell or Myrna Loy, depending. In gray, black, and zebra, all with an acrylic mirror on one side and a push-button latch. We’ll pick, cuz they’re all Thin-Man stylish.
