I really don't want four of them - won't have any room to display them all anyway. Just the oldest and newest that I have. I'm so looking forward to getting things more organized over the winter. But I'll have to STOP buying more stuff as it does not good to add space and more stuff at the same time.

The one at Bull'sEye was still there - it's not now LOL!! So when I get home I'll share pictures of #5. This is one of the latest styles, it has white sides and a lot of blue on the top. No pictures of shuttles either. It is setting on a wood box like my oldest one, but the drawer had compartments for sewing needle storage.
Steve - that is so true! I think people take off the caps and are not careful to replace them on the tube they came off. I've gone through all in my one set to make sure they are correct.

Cathy,
My Boye cabinet arrived today in good shape. It was shipped from Britton, SD. I was excited to find some old style numbered tubes mixed in with the new style. I got close to 40 Davis Long tubes----Woo Hoo!

here is the one I picked up today. I first saw this one at this antique shop back in June, and have debated about buying it since. I got them to come down a bit on price.
The box on this one is divided into areas for different types of hand needles
And has a neat upper tray that can be slide back and forth
