vintage crayons

When I was in second grade my teacher gave me a box of Snoopy crayons.  I stored them in the Snoopy crayon box they came in until years later when it was almost disintegrated and I moved them to a gold and maroon cardboard box that a Seiko watch came it.  I still have that Seiko box and it's still full of crayons from the 80's- the Snoopy crayons as well as miscellaneous Crayolas, Prangs, and Goldens.  Some of them are peeled and some of them are broken and some of them show evidence of being burned in candles when I was melting them to draw with in high school.  I pull them out when Maggie comes to my apartment but otherwise they don't get a lot of use.  So this morning I drew with them for some reason.  I think mainly to see what colors I have.
