Sorry to make so many image-heavy posts, but just thought I'd share this. Found it at Michael's in the beading section. These are great for holding 1" pogs. Label the little jars for "Zombies", "Pirates", etc.

That is actually an expandable file/coupon caddy from Office Max, and only cost me a few bucks. It's all plastic (except for the seams and elastic band) and is perfect for holding 4x6" index cards. I just aged it a bit by dusting it with flour. Don't tell anybody  .

It's just a wooden ammo box you should be able to find one at a local army surplus store. I sometimes see them at the thrift stores or the flea market and I tossed one out last year that was too filthy for decent folk when some one abandoned a van full of junk in the parking lot |

I'd would mail you one but the shipping would kill me
Have you tried these ideas
Chat up a lot of your older veteran neighbors and see if they need help cleaning out there attic or garages (or is that called a Car Cottage In Britton) and once the rubbish is packed in the Ammo Box he found at Dunkirk offer to drive it to the dump for him in the Boot (he he he) of your car..
Put on a Black SAS wolly pully sweater and sneak around old warehouses on the edge of military basses. To keep from getting in trouble have a press pass for the “Savage News” and tell them you investigating the location of warehouse 13 and the holly grail
Try and find the hidden locations of the buried weapons caches created for the resistance cells in ww2 in case the Germans invaded. You probable won’t be allowed to keep the silenced .45 caliber Lee Enfield rifle, so to be safe send it to me. And you can keep the ammo box
Disguise yourself in overalls and dig around in the storage rooms of factories and repair shops that have not moved location in sixty years and would have had heavy machine parts shipped to them in the same style wooden crates. If any one ask tell them your with the city health inspector and must impound all wooden shipping containers to be examined for carpenter ants
Take a Picnic in Derry and “Barrow” a few aged boards from an old barn and build your own storage box
Take a trip in the chunnel to France and find a wooden box for long hall shipment of the extra jumbo wine bottles
and ha an exact match but in the US

And unrealted but it does have to do with a antique box and ghost rock

Yes Sykes Fairbairn SAS Daggers and when combined with my reprint of the OSS manual and my training in subduing patients with a crib mattress and putting them in handcuffs I’m the most dangerous man in my workshop |

$#!&! Foiled by VonDan!  That's the guy I bought it from. It's very sturdy, and I like it a lot, but shipping cost me as much as the box itself (in the States).
I also recommend hittin' the military surplus stores first. I tried, but they just didn't have what I was looking for. I wanted the wooden crate style, like something you'd see sitting on the dock while waiting in line for the Jungle Cruise.
Still working on it. I wanna add a few more touches, and may partition it off, instead of just throwing all my crap in there.

I put together a Savage Fallout benny box to try and convince my group to take a break from the fantasy campaigns:
Still need to find wild dice that feel right with the rest of it, but it's starting to have the desired effect (they've already adopted the caps as bennies). |

Oh first time I noticed this
No the t shirt was not about this movie just about me and wanting more nerdy girls at the table when playing D&D.
I did see this movie and on the way out of the theater my friend punched me in the stomache before I could say any thing and she said "Dont say a word" |

I get the same thing from my wife whenever Drew Barrymore/Salma Hayek/Halle Berry appears on the TV. Don't worry. It's their way of saying "I like you."
That Fallout box is very slick. The only way I could improve on that is to maybe bend the bottlecaps a bit and dirty 'em up a little.
I've been working on a pirate-themed Benny Box, and one for Rippers as well. Keep ya posted...

and my go anywhere dice bag made out of a diabetes monitor case (I have a bunch of these since my in-laws are all in the medical industry)
