I picked up this 1920s wooden beverage box last summer, from an era when my home town still had 3-digit phone numbers and was known as the then-Virginia town of Holliday’s Cove during the Revolutionary War (see side panel).
I decided to save the graphics and repurpose it into a tackle-tying box. The top boards are from an old vintage dynamite storage box. I intend to add legs and make it a work-comfortable 36” high.

Here is a 29-1/2” high (w/ casters) pipe smoker box drawer I put together a few years ago with some birch branches and twigs.
