Dated 14 June 1962
Unused in the box.
They sure took lots of pride of packaging back then.
It's even made to be a display.
Look at the price. $13.50
I wonder what that is in 2021 dollars?????.

This was nothing new for packaging then, The Ch Box was late 1950's maybe early 1960,s . Remember there was no plastic Then. Most if not all Items were packed in Paper box . simple in design cheap to Manufacture
simple Die Cut and scored to create
At that time there were a multitude of Printers , and Die Cutters in the US. Simple metal Plates and Printing Ink.

To put that into proper context of "then vs. now", it means the same item today would be $115.88. Which means the original "cheap" looking $13 price was actually quite costly by today's standards.Quote:
