DaddyBuiltRacing Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I was cleaning my basement out the other day with a buddy and he found something of intrest. There was an old wooden box/drawer hidden in the corner. I took it up stairs to clean it up, upon cleaning I found this on the side "Anona Cheese Company Chicago" I will snap a pic here in a few mins and post it up as well. I tried looking them up online but haven't had much luck finding anything. I am just trying to figure out how old this thing is. It appears to be the box that a cheese loaf would've been delivered in and its pretty cool. Be back in a few mins with pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 That first link you posted is exactly what I found. I also found a couple metal lunch pales. 1 is a farm scene (was spray painted, but got it all off with hot water), the other is a plain black one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
