Great box. I was curious so I checked the Winchester Arms Collectors site and found this paragraph in a longer discussion of Winchester boxes. quote Anyway, to just scratch the surface of answering your question… Until the early 1950s, Winchester boxes were plain brown corrugated cardboard with white labels on top and one end that had red and blue printing. The end label had the Model, Catalog Symbol, Grade, Chambering, and hand-written Serial Number. About 1953, the boxes acquired the red overprinting “World Famous Winchester Rifles and Shotguns”, the Winchester logo, etc. The labels changed to yellow with red “Winchester” and black printing. Around 1962, the box was redesigned to the overall red and black plaid but retained the yellow label. Lou Luttrell end of quote | |||
