I used to throw away gun boxes until one day I went to sell a rifle and the store owner told me that he would give me an extra $100 if I had the box...All boxes go in the burn pile - including all of the gun boxes. I used to keep them on a shelf and one day I said "this is stupid". The only boxes I save are for delicate electronic gear - like turntables.
Old boxes are so cool and definitely worth collecting.
I like those as you say art,I have all my old schoolboy Airfix model aircarft cards which I kept for the pictures.Some old boxes are worth collecting, especially for the art, but I keep a lot of new ones also. View attachment 1663976View attachment 1663977
I would just walk away laughing at such foolishness......I used to throw away gun boxes until one day I went to sell a rifle and the store owner told me that he would give me an extra $100 if I had the box...
Jon, I’m certain that if you left you collection to a porch regular a instruction leaflet would not be needed. I humbly volunteer to sort out this issue. Of course with your immediate family in mind. Though a few choice ones might mysteriously disappear.Heres some of them..

Now all I simply need to do is write a comprehensive instruction leaflet on how to match the knives their correct tubes or boxes.....That will be issued to the inheritor of my collection from my cold dead hands.
Thank goodness that whomever had the foresight to save those boxes you show here, a bit of history preserved by someone some might consider a hoarder. Funny how it's the things we throw away that become desired artifacts way later down the road when most of the related artifacts are long sitting in land fills...Some old boxes are worth collecting, especially for the art, but I keep a lot of new ones also.
