[QUOTE="birgittaw, post: 75299, member: 28"]The recent post on box lots and auctions made me smile as I just returned from one that hit that scavenger spot in me. Held twice a month close to my home, it emulates Crumpton et al in New Jersey. You pick out the lots you want, and you can make your own boxes as long as it's the same seller's item. But you can't pout if someone wants something out of "your" box. Here is one item in one lot. Looks older, the decoupage seems to be out of Harper's Weekly and are definitely not prints. And the hinges and closures look like they have age to them as well. The box is covered with that same leather-ette stuff as you would find on old magic lantern slides. Best I can describe it.
