<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 2833134, member: 88"]These pieces came out of the watchmaker's workroom I bought some years. I unearthed them during the on-going urban renewal of the garage. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>There are 38 of the small boxes & they measure 7/8" by 7/8" & are 5/8" to the top. They also need some cleaning as just about all of them have a tiny paper label or two on the lid. They had also been sitting in a small open container on top of a box of "stuff" for about 7 years now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The tubes measure 1 7/16" top to bottom by 1/2" across, 1 3/8" by 1/2", 1 1/4" by 5/16" & 1" by 1/4". I think there are corks to fit all of the tubes, but I can't be sure. They also need to be washed as they were in the same container mentioned above. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am assuming they originally were used to ship watch parts to him & he repurposed them to do the same. I dumped out literally hundreds of metal boxes & plastic containers into various sizes of Ziploc style bags. When I was done I had 2 paper ream boxes filled with the bags. When I was listing the stuff I would reach into the box & grab a handful of bags which would constitute a lot. I very honestly told the buyers I really had no idea what was in all of the bags but told them they would get everything shown. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If more than one person puts their name in the hat I will draw names next Tuesday night. </p><p><br /></p><p>The box is going to weigh about 13 ounces so it can go first class. <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1068603764_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1068603765_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1068603769_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1068603771_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1068603773_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1068603767_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1068603776_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
