Cigar Box Wednesday



When is a cigar box not a cigar box? When it's a Whitman's Sampler Chocolate box. This one full of old toy train cars.



Swap meets are great places to find these, as well as thrift stores, garage sales and antique malls.



Wood, metal, plastic - they bring back a whiff of childhood and Christmas mornings under the tree. Both my dad and my brother were big HO fans and some of their train-love rubbed off on me.
