Question: Inside my heart-logoed box

What was that wooden slide-top box that I had, and where can I get another one?

When I was in college, I had a slide-top wooden box that was only big enough to put a few coins in it. I bought it for cheap at a museum shop in Charlotte, NC. It was a perfect little container for very small objects. Unfortunately, mine got lost a few years back, but now I would like another-- it would be the perfect sized container for small fishhooks for when I go trout fishing. The only other clue I can think of, besides "slide top wooden box", is that it had a small heart logo on the back of it. My google-fu is failing me.

Check out the two-page gallery of wooden slide top boxes on this site--some of the smaller boxes may be what you're after.

Head shops generally have those crafty small wooden boxes. You put your weed in there, y'know.

That would be called a "dugout". (if the OP is referring to what I think he is referring to)

This store, used to carry cunning wooded boxes with an inlay heart on the back in a contrasting wood as a logo.

norm, I have one that was used at one point to put maybe four dice into. If that's the sort of thing you're looking for MeMail me and I'll send it to you.

I think you're looking for a Heartwood Creations Secret Box. Did yours have marquetry inlay, and a very close-fitting dovetailed lid?
