The great thing about this shipping crate is that many years ago, someone made the box into a cabinet. I thought it was too cool to pass up. Note that the drawers are also from Drum tobacco crates.

Below for reference (they are not mine) is Leon's old counter top display, and a Drum tobacco pouch.

That is a great "re-purposing" Drum cabinet piece, Jon. The only question is, will you use it as intended?

Thanks Leon - I actually think I'm going to use it to store my packs in.

Another new acquisition.

Well, this might be one of my favorite purchases ever. I love the Polar Bear countertop displays, but this is the first time I've ever seen an original shipping crate. Crazy that this stuff survives for 100+ years! Also, note the size... it's huge.

Jon- that is freaking great.

Jon I was watching that too. Congratulations on a great piece.
