Ball Pints Box End

That looks great! I never thought about redoing them like that.I'm sure some puritians may not like the idea,but I think you brought it back to life.

That is sweet! I'll definitely be on the lookout now

Ya know ajohn....I thought the very same thing.....and actually felt the same way....but time after time after time....all you come across now a days are the very faded box panels....and even less whole boxes.

It is next to impossible to get an original shipping box with decent graphics....so I tried one out several years back and liked the end product.

It it is tough to do....but I still find enjoyment in refurbishing these box ends....the very first ones are like works of art....love the graphics....

Another piece I was lucky enough to see at the show. You do good work man. Keep it up. Can't wait to see the whole thing finished.

Way to go Dave! Those are way better fixed up.I really like the 48 stars on the flags.I have a few boxes I have collected but never thought of fixing them up.My favorite is a dovetailed box for shotgun shells that is in pretty good shape.If you do any more be sure to post em.

Will be more than happy to post them.....I think they are great....a vanishing vintage are work...done by hand and not computer....

I like refinishing them....relaxes me after a busy day.

And thanks much Swizzle....
