Tin Vintage Boxes? Where can I get them?
Question:Hi! My mom has this 6"x6" old vintage tin box that i adore but i dont like the design and we already use it for little nuts and bolts etc... Any way i was wondering if there is a store that i could get one at and how much are they? I cant buy things off of online sence im only 11 and my mom probably wouldnt get one for me! So does anyone know a good place in the Portland, Oregon area that i can get an old vintage tin box?
Thnx!
Hope you can help!

Try flea markets, antique stores, and maybe even thrift stores.
Another way would be to check yard/garage sales. You can also attend estate sales, and auctions, but since you're eleven not sure you can get aroound to all these places unless one of your parents takes you. Good luck. I don't know Portland, Oregon so I can't tell you any one specific place to go.
You need to look at flea markets and the GoodWill-type resale shops. They have them often but you'll just have to look till you find one you love.
check www.craigslist.com for your area. there was recently a woman selling a ton near me. you can also post a free ad saying you'd like to purchase these types of items.
while it's online, you will most likely pick up your items at the sellers homes and pay in cash. make sure to bring an adult with you--never go to a stranger's alone!
