These are the best! We buy things from all over the world and have seen all kinds of packaging, but we're truly enamoured with these. Made from reinforced plastic, some of these are in perfect condition, others have some flaws - there is even an occasional hole in one of them.

We have friends who have made outdoor pillows, cosmetic bags, messenger bags and more from these - how kitschy.

The bags measure 20 by 40 inches - and are sewn as bags.

Perfect for a mini shrine, this little tin will also be a nice way to keep some of your little supplies in check.

These little silver steel tins measure 3-1/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches and 3/4 inch deep when closed. We were so amazed by all the work that went into these tiny boxes. There are punched or hammered accents on the top and sides of most of them. And all of the edges are folded inward for a nice finished look. They still appear somewhat primitive, which we love.

Punched and pressed designs, as well as the painting, vary from box to box, so please let us choose one for you. We're showing two boxes to illustrate the little tins both closed and open.

Not all memories fit nicely between page protectors. With the Biography 101, you can secure your photos, postcards, letters, etc. into the album. But, even better, you can use the shadow box for keeping that special dimensional memorabilia.

The design is so clever - it can stand open on a shelf, table or piano - so you can share your special memories in an elegant fashion. Or, if you prefer to secretly treasure those memories, the suitcase is quite attractive closed and stacked amongst your books.

The album itself arrives with 10 standard page protectors, and buckles snugly into the case. The 3-inch window on its front lets you highlight your favorite photo or allows you to title your work.

The sample illustration was created to preserve the first baby items of a little girl.

On the other side, the shadow box offers a hinged door with ribbon closure. The album and treasure shadow box are both acid-free and lignin-free. We are especially fond of the canvas covered carrying case that resembles a suitcase. Wonderful for any memory project or even for altered art, we think it a magnificent way to preserve your travel memories!

The suitcase measures 11-1/2 by 10 by 3-3/4 inches

Such sweet little valentine boxes as these are still made, but not so nicely as these. Each is made of cardboard and features a satiny fabric top with a touch of padding. You'll know that these were once red - just because of their shape and style. Now some of them have faded with the years, but they are ever so darling, too, just because of that!

Each box is in good vintage condition, with some fading of the fabric and some discoloration of the original white lining inside box. There are some slight aging issues, but we love how that one makes each one special.

Most are marked, Made in Japan and some have the original price (10¢ or 15¢) stamped on the bottom. The box measures 2-1/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches by 1 inch deep.

Plastic Net Fresh Produce Bags - Set of 5

More Bags & Boxes

Great for packaging merchandise or gifts, these are the real deal that you find in the grocery - filled with oranges, potatoes and the like.

The top label is sturdily attached. So you just stuff in the merchandise (we used wax fruit for the illustration) and just tie the bottom in a knot. If you find you don't like the top tag, then simply cut it off and tie both ends.

The bags are made of red plastic mesh - so they work well for the red holidays - Valentine's Day and Christmas - as well as any other occasion.

Not including the label, the bag measures about 17 inches long and 3 inches wide. These stretch as you stuff them, so it's hard to say what the final size will be - because it all depends on the shape of the stuff inside!

Both sides of the label read the same:

Fresh PRODUCE
NET. WT.

PRICE PER LB. ¢

We find it great fun to use these for packaging for gifts - if you need to hide the things inside, just use some fabric scraps or tissue paper!

Real Cellophane Bags - Package of 10 Bags

More Green and Eco-Friendly Stuff

There are lots of bags out there calling themselves cello, making us think they are cellophane. Alas, most are high quality polypropylene - plastic - that imitates real cellophane! And, as plastic, the bags are made from petroleum and are not so renewable.

These 4 by 6 inch bags are the real thing - cellophane! Real natural cellophane is made from cellulose - which comes from wood. That makes cellophane a totally natural product which 100% compostable and makes very little environmental impact once made. (Of course production impacts the environment somewhat, but the final product hardly does at all). These are the bags that were used in the mid-20th century before plastic bags became the rage.

We love the look and feel and how wonderfully old-fashioned they are. We package lots of SilverCrow products in these bags in many sizes. (We also use the polypropylene bags - we don't want to mislead you.)

Cellophane is highly permeable - allowing moisture to pass through, rather than be trapped inside. This reduces condensation and subsequently reduces the risk of mold and mildew.

But, what we really, really love is that crinkly sound it makes when you touch it! Just like bags so many years ago. Our bags are non-toxic.

Vintage Yankee Girl Box with Red & White Checks

More Boxes and Bags

More Smoking & the Like

We love old boxes - to collect and especially for wrapping presents. This one is great fun for USA patriotic holidays (especially for New Yorkers). Originally designed to hold plug tobacco, the red and white checks made it quite noticeable amongst the other boxes in cigar cases. My grandfather had a bookstore years ago that also sold cigars, tobacco, stationery, toys, and a zillion other things. He always indicated that red drew the eyes to the product better than anything (I guess, of course, unless your buyer was colorblind!) The printing is all in dark blue, but we think it just might look great for Christmas as well.

Plug tobacco is chewing tobacco that was made with molasses. The sweet and sticky molasses helped hold the tobacco together to form a sheet - sort of like a fruit roll! The large sheets were cut into smaller sheets called plugs and wrapped with finer tobacco. The plug connoisseur would then either cut off, or more likely, bite off a piece to chew.

Your box will arrive flat, but, with a little ingenuity, you should be able to assemble it easily.

The top of the box reads:

YANKEE GIRL
PLUG
TOBACCO

1 DOZEN CELLOPHANE WRAPPED

OPEN THIS SIDE

Two Yankee Girls flank the center banner holding red and white striped banners that read:

More Bags & Boxes

This lovely little box couldn't be more useful. It makes a great little gift box or a nice trinket or treasure box for you bureau, desk or bookshelf.

Made of wood and painted in the toll style, however it is not shiny like most toll painted items are. The decorative folk art style seemed to have begun in New England (USA) and was also practiced by early German immigrants to Pennsylvania (the Pennsylvania Dutch). There are similar styles of painting in Lithuania, Scandinavia and Mexico. This lead us to believe it was the technique that allowed the average person to create something lovely from a common wooden article.

This is a reproduction item that has been massed produced by hand, so it is not as unique as the individual treasures you might find in an antique or second-hand store.

Our picture makes the little box appear shiny, but it really is matte. To create a shine, you can use water-based varnish from the hardware store or any paint sealer from a craft store.

The box measures 2-1/4 inches in diameter, and, including the lid, it is 1-3/4 inch high.

The very first time we saw these little zipper bags, we knew we had to offer them to SilverCrow customers. The coated viscose is printed with vibrantly colored renderings of Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

They are all hand-made by artisans, so each is different. Colors and images vary tremendously. But each is a work of art in itself.

The fabric is no other - it is waterproof. However, because it has a standard zipper, it is not leak proof.  Equally appropriate as a gift sack, change purse or treasure pouch, you'll want several of these little bags. At approximately 3-1/4 inches by 3-1/2 inches, you'll find them very versatile.

We can't guarantee you a particular God or Goddess as we never know which ones we'll receive. However, if you specify a preference, we'll try to accommodate your choice.

The bunnies are made in the tradition of old German Easter favors - of chenille and pressed paper. The little buckets are pressed paper with découpaged Easter scenes on the front. Each little bucket measures about 6 by 4 inches.

These are now retired, originally produced in 2006.

This sweet little box is decorated with leaves and holly atop the pudding. Each time an English family in centuries past would make a plum pudding, everyone made a wish in advance. A special sixpence was added to the ingredients. And after it was cooked, it was set aflame after the yuletide dinner. The scrumptious dessert was quickly consumed, and the lucky diner who discovered the coin in his/her portion was granted the wish and good fortune for the upcoming year.

Each 2 by 2 inch hand-painted porcelain box latches to protect the authentic sixpence inside.

Wouldn't anyone just love to receive a gift in this delightfully old-fashioned ornamental egg box. The hand-made papier mâché egg box is lined in delicately illustrated paper (paper may vary).
