I keep my old items in their boxes in my basement storeroom -- including my collection of vibrators, going back to about 1919. Although lately I've given a few of them away, since the basement is not really a good place to keep old cardboard boxes from disintegrating.
I would actually have nearly all of that specific stuff in the store, except that I have a friend who has half a house devoted to his collection of "old stuff in original boxes" and I used to ship him a carton a month, picked up at estate sales when I moved to Minneapolis 20 years ago and was not employed for many months (so I could go to 20 estate sales a week).

But, um, yeah.
