    I keep the boxes of my more notable (expensive, vintage, special edition, or nice box) pens. But I have some that should probably disappear. I did NOT keep one of those new Conklin boxes that had white "satin" and looked like a coffin.
    I am not a fan of those boxes that look like old froufrou jewelry boxes, with fabric that your can't remove, but if the box is nice or useable, I keep it.
    Save for my Bulkfiller case which holds the tools and an extra nib, they are almost all in a separate box, one that I open and clean out spider webs from time to time.
    I sometimes feel like just tossing the lot, but have always been glad I didn't.

    Keeping most boxes and paperwork is a plus if the time comes to sell the pen.

    LOL about the coffin box quote. The boxes did come in handy when I sent the pen to Yafa for repairs.
