I nabbed this 1930's Tigerwood card filing box on Ebay for next to nothing about 10 yrs ago one Christmas night. It wasn't very pretty and some of the hardware inside was missing. I refinished it and mounted it it under my cabinet where my recipe cards have always been stored. In it are hand written cards from my grandmother, mother, family, and friends. Recipe cards have gone to the wayside. But my adult daughters love looking through them! I couldn't bear to give away my cookbooks. I used a Seal-A-Meal to help preserve them in a box in the garage.
