Boxes of all kinds are collected. They were made of wood, metal, tortoiseshell, embroidery, or other material. While most boxes found today are from the 19th and 20th centuries, some date back to the 1600s. Additional boxes may be listed in other sections, such as Advertising, Battersea, Ivory, Shaker, Tinware, and various Porcelain categories. Tea Caddies are listed in their own category.
