Thanks for the inspiration! I just started this with my son! It is absolutely fascinating to see what a 3 year old places value on “to make the cut” to be put in the box!

I didn’t know men did this, and quite frankly I think it’s awesome. I’m 23 and I plan on starting mine tomorrow!

I thought it was just me or something but I have had a treasure box for years. Didn’t know other guys did that. Thought I was a bit weird for it.

I have my grandfather’s cigar box that he used as his treasure box. it has a really cool drawing of a tall ship on the top and deco carved sides. unfortunately its rather small. i am challenged since i have already overfilled it. Recently I am considering finding an old large humidor for my treasure box. What do you think?

Is that an Eagle Scout ribbon in your treasure box? It looks like it, but I think you would have it pictured if it was.

I checked, I have five. No I’m not a junk collector just tons of neat stuff I’ve managed to collect over the years. Handcuff keys, name tags, pocket knifes, loose .223 /.40cal rounds, extra uniform badges, my dad’s WWII wings….the list goes on and on. Mine are all cigar box’s that I pick up at the local cigar shop for a few buck. After thinking about it and all the stuff maube I am a junk collector.

I’ve gathered objects from my travels or those that remind me of friends. This ranges from a wine cork to a stone from Omaha Beach.

I want to start one of these for my kids that my wife and I are planning on trying to start having soon – I already have a few trinkets and stuff that I keep, but not a box to put them in. Anyone know of a good place to get a good box? One that has multiple levels or drawers would be nice; felt lined as well…

Anyone have woodworking plans for making one?

There’s something about these things things that’s definately wonderous to a father’s son. I remember the one my father had and all the cool things he kept in it. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll see it again. I hoped to inherit it but alas, it won’t be for family problems. I did find one on Amazon that seems pretty good but otherwise, a good valet box seems hard to come by. I’ would love to make a custom one. If anyone know where some GOOD ones are at, let me know!
