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!
HOW MUCH ARE THEY USUALLY?

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.

Presented is a wonderful vintage Unique Art Jazzbo Jim the Dancer on the Roof tin wind up dancing toy. This is a remarkable piece with some ...

I bought a new tin box. Well new to me, actually vintage... :)
I was planning on keeping pictures in it.. can they be affected negatively?

That is possibly the worst place. The silver in the photos reacting to the metal of the box is extremely likely...I would also be concerned with condensation on the metal. It is likely that sooner or later you will end up with ruined, stuck together pictures.

Find a box or album designed for holding photos. Look for acid free at least.

I'm looking to buy a full size metal lunch box that has a vintage feel with a picture of Spiderman, Superman, or Wonder Woman on it. Everywhere I've looked online they are either sold out, or not full size (by full size I mean big enough to pack a lunch in). Any ideas on where I can find one?
Thanks for the feedback, but I don't want to buy something off Ebay. I would much prefer to order it from a website.

There is a Superman vintage here:
