My Grandpa Wooten made this cabinet for me in about 1964 or '65. We went to the Ritz Cigar Store in downtown Pendleton, IN to get the boxes, then off to his workshop to make the cabinet! At the time it was for storing model car stuff, but I think it needs a new life storing various CBG pickups and supplies!

Thanks Uncle John, Pick and Maddog!  Yep, a nice connection to my grandad. Glad it survived thru all these years!  Another neat connection is the Ritz Cigar Store token on my CBG #21. Pick, I'll try to share this with Shane...

Nice Gary! Just a beautiful piece of family history and a feel good story :-)

Some of my most cherished possesions are things handed down by my Great Grandfather, Grandfather and Father. May not mean a lot to most folks but they mean the world to me.

Thanks Dave!  Yeah, I kinda figure that Grandpa appreciates it too!  :-)

Wow, that's a great story and storage cabinet. Any pickup or tuner would love to live there. We have one made by my spouses brother made out of herring boxes for drawers. There's about 30 boxes used in 8 rows.
