Mine was made (or just sold?) by a guy in Mexico, my wife gave it to me for our anniversary. It is a lovely piece, and I was contemplating a second one. I use it for some of my watches that I don't wear as often. It seems like the one you found is either by a different manufacturer and the same design, or both of these sellers are buying them from the same source.blueradish wrote: ↑October 20th, 2019, 4:31 pm Just tripped across these in my IG feed. Look pretty good for $70. Anyone have one thinking of getting one while I save for a Betman box.

Re: Vintage watchbox
I bet you anything there are still a few worms in there. I recently opened the bottom drawer, and in the far back corner there was some sawdust piled underneath the cushion with the watch. Active worm alarm!

Re: Vintage watchbox
Remove the watches and the dust and let it stay in your freezer for 24 hours, problem solved.
I have owned an old summer house and we had the same issues, until I let all furniture weather over night in -20 on the lawn.

Re: Vintage watchbox
That's a great idea! I haven't even thought of doing anything, since it's the first time I've seen some dust appear. But you are right, better to be proactive about that!Yoda wrote: ↑October 21st, 2019, 1:09 pmRemove the watches and the dust and let it stay in your freezer for 24 hours, problem solved.

Get rid of these worms, they will soon be out in your home!
