    Cool! As much of a box freak as I am I have very few vintage coffin boxes, but tons of reproductions.

      You picked out a good one there! Triple TM box! It should have a date on the inside edge of the box, what date is it?

        Nice. I only have 1 vintage coffin box. The Navy one I picked up at Wizard World Chicago a few years ago.

          Well done Jim, it's a nice piece of toy history that needs to be preserved. I only have repos of that box, but they do the nostalgic trick for me and they are very good. In the past I've used a very small amount of beeswax polish to preserve old glossy covered cardboard boxes and comic annuals, I applied the polish to a soft cotton cloth,
          Fall in A, fall in B, fall in all the company!

            Interesting idea. I would never have thought of that.

              Your box looks to be in pretty good shape. Way better then my sailor box.
