I'll have to think twice about using them as paint and glue trays and pitching them...

:o :o Wow, those are "Bachmann prices" !!  :o  :o

We have come a long way from a buck per small box.

cost of plastic has gone up exponentially...

$3.75 for a small box and lid and about $1.50 for the nest....

Joe

I was just going through my old BLW receipts looking for some prices (for my model inventory) and I ran into couple of instances when I purchased the small jewel boxes from BLW.

Back in 2008 I paid 60 cents per box.
Then in 2009 the price jumped to a whopping 68 cents per box!  :)

If you can find the business name for the box you can probably find a generic one on Amazon for $10 for a case of 100...

But it wouldn't have the MTL Brand..  :D

An Amazon search for "Jewel Case" gave me a bunch of CD Cases..

You can already buy MT factory air in aerosol cans just in case you do accidentally open a new box and let the air out.
