MISC OTHER CONTAINERS

These watertight aluminum screw-top canisters are gasketed, lined in nylon and come with a 1" slip ring to attach to whatever. Measure just over 2-1/2" tall x 1-1/8" dia, so they're suitable for a lot of pills or any number other things you need to keep dry or safe. We'll pick one in black, red, gold, blue or green.

You can store a plethora and a half of things in this staggeringly cute set of a dozen screw-top clear plastic canisters, 1-1/4" dia x 3/4" deep, that fit perfectly inside this 6-3/8" x 4-3/8" x 1" deep clear plastic lidded box. How they got those circles in a rectangle is a Euclidean mystery.

This isn't a book, but it's definitely book-ish. Looks like a leather-bound volume from the Bodleian but it's just a little wooden box, approx 8-1/2" x 5" x 2" (7" x 3-7/8" x 1-5/8" inside) that's perfect for stashing the jewels, cash, or whatever you need to stash in plain sight on the shelves.

Don’t expect to while away rainy afternoons curled up with this book in your lap. But hey, if you want to hide your fancy watch or stash of chocolates somewhere, crack this baby open! It’s a book safe, see? Looks just like a worn old book, with “DREAM the impossible SEEK the unknown ACHIEVE greatness” on the cover in white and orange and “DREAM” in white down the spine, but it’s hollowed out so you can hide stuff in it. Measures approx 7” x 4-7/8" x 1-1/2" with a 5-1/2” x 3-1/5” x 1-3/16” interior, and has a magnet that snaps it shut. Put it on a high shelf just to be safer.

The smartest among us in these days of closed bars and bites as far as the eye can see will carry a little hip flask for emergencies. This one is a standard 8-ouncer in stainless steel with a matte black finish. Measures 5-3/4" x 3-1/2" x 1" thick, and given the number of emergencies you could encounter, we recommend a pair because, after all, you do have two hips.

And trained artisans are carving their fingers to nubbins keeping us supplied with clever wooden boxes with hidden compartments. They’re made with no dyes, paints or stains and only from hardwoods—primarily ebony, rosewood, birch, beech, and boxwood—and using only hand tools. Pull the secret pin and find the velveteen cranny for your secret stuff. You pick: the Butterfly box; the Heart and Angel box; the Standing Angel box, or the Cross and Bible box.

One is small, the other is very small. Perfect for pills, gems, tobacco or any other precious substance you travel with. Two-tone design is far out. Hmm? No, you better let us drive, and we’ll pick the color, too. Could be red-white, orange-black or something else. You pick the size: 2-1/4" dia x 1-1/16” high, or 1-1/4" dia x 3/4" high.

Add a little pizazz to your nitro pills! This 1-3/4" x 1/2" dia container for meds is anodized aluminum in mostly silver but also could be in blue, turquoise, purple, red, gold (our choice). It's gasketed so it's watertight. We recommend cleaning the inside with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol before using, since some have a bit of rust-colored residue in them. Flashy!

These round metal containers with lids are 2-3/4” dia x 1” tall—sort of like thin, silver hockey pucks you can put stuff in. Good for carrying small, loose items, or to hold a mini First Aid Kit, an emergency sewing kit, craft supplies like glitter and beads, or office supplies like paper clips and tacks. You’ll get (4) per order, and when you see how handy they are, you’ll probably be back for more.

A famous woodworking apprentice carves out a living today making these puzzle boxes from recycled hardwoods.

Your choice: the sleeping cat, puppy dog, owl pair all of which measure about 5-1/2" X 3-3/4" X 3-1/2". Click here for a short video

You pick the 16-oz, 5” tall x 3” dia cans; the 24-oz, 4-1/8” tall X 4” dia cans; or the 32-oz, 5” tall x 4” dia cans.

From the workshop of the omnidexterous master carver, these literal letter boxes are handmade from recycled, exotic hardwoods. Pull the secret pin and they open to reveal a velveteen-lined compartment for secret stuff. On top, each one has a carved letter--an initial if you will (and why wouldn't you?). Each box measures roughly 6" x 3-1/2" x 2-1/4" depending on the consonant. No paints, no stains, and no vowels. You pick: H, P, or T. Feel free to snag more than one; these don't come around too often.

This spoon-tube, originally intended to accurately measure liquid medicine and keep it off the chins of medicine-takers, will hold up to (2) tsps or 10cc/ml. In see-through fluorescent green with a little foot at the front so you can put it down on a surface without losing the contents. Measures 4-7/8” long x 1/2” ID with a 1-1/4” spoon-like tip, and marked in tsps and ml/cc gradations on the side.

For elfin coffee pots? We know not, but this tiny plastic scoop measures just 3/4” x 1-3/16” dia with a 1-7/8” handle. Holds 11cc (0.37 oz). Mighty cute, and you’ll get a bunch of ’em. Great for classroom projects, workshops and craft rooms. Gotta keep your scoops straight.

Yurp tub, to you. You know these - plastic, kidney-shaped things hospitals provide when you're looking a little olive-toned around the gills.

Salmon-pink plastic, each measures approx. 2" tall x 8-1/4" long x 3-1/2" wide, with a lip. Graduated measurement inside from 4 to 16 oz and 100 to 500cc. Now available in 700cc size.

A gazent is a part that gazenta some other part, as in “This’ere thingy gazenta that slot behind that other opening, capish?” In this case, it’s a pretty blue plastic nesting tub, holds (15) oz, stands 4-5/8" tall x 4-3/4” x 3-1/4” with an oval ID mouth, a 5/8” x 7/8” deep lip, and a slightly inclined bottom. Dunno what it was meant to gazenta, but it’s a nice sorting bin, mise en place container, paint tub, parts holder, whatever.
