\"\"<\/a>Shannon and I visited a Tyler area estate sale last weekend.\u00a0 I’d gone through the house – as well as the tool shed, and didn’t really see anything that caught my eye.. until we were leaving – I glanced down at a brown box.. that simply said “bee box” on it.<\/p>\n

Of course, my interest piqued, and I looked into the box.\u00a0 It was tagged at $20 – and this day happened to be a 25% off day.\u00a0 So – a $15 “bee box”.\u00a0 Upon further looking, this looks to be a vintage kit.\u00a0 Bottom board kit, a 10-frame deep, and a split lid with center-cleat.\u00a0 Also 10 deep frames.\u00a0 Take a looksee at the pictures, and see if you recognize who may have manufactured a kit like this.\u00a0 The wood is all cedar (and smells FANTASTIC!) – and the real thing that sets this box aside from any others is the top cover – with it’s strange end overhangs and the center-rail that covers the split between the two boards that create the top cover.<\/p>\n

I assembled the kit today – and it’s 100% complete.\u00a0 But I’m still wondering who manufactured it, and what approximate year it would have been sold.<\/p>\n

The instruction sheet was in the box – falling apart – but legible.\u00a0 I’ve taped it back together.\u00a0 There is no identifying brand on the instruction sheet either.\u00a0 BUT – The cardboard box has a stamped “624” on it – which I presume to be a stock number or a kit number.<\/p>\n

Any ideas?<\/p>\n
