This box is quite rare and is extremely well-suited to pen storage. I use it myself, so it is not for sale. |

A few years ago, CAO offered its cigars in a box with four drawers. This box has become much prized by collectors and is difficult to find at a reasonable price. I happened to get one for a good price (maybe not all that reasonable...). I sanded and varnished the exterior, with a good rub with 0000 steel wool between coats, and did the same to the drawers. The drawers also required a little fitting, plus a good coat of wax to ensure smooth operation. |

Here's the box open. Note that I made two different types of drawer dividers. The two bottom drawers are done entirely with felt, including the dividers, but the top two are a variation on the second Oliva box. The dividers are basswood strips with felt glued to the sides. I couldn't decide which I liked best, so I made two of each. Below left: the two different types of trays. All felt on the top, wooden dividers with felt edging on the bottom. Height of the dividers is about the same. Below right: Here it is loaded with Sheaffer and Eversharp Skyline pens and a couple of matching pencils. Total capacity is twenty. |
