Gary- like 44 Gruen ad says.. the x ray machine that they dropped from the sky!
Jenneke- no way would I tear the box up. But I did daydream about it, and that there was actually a map underneath to the records, in the landfill.... I'm confident in dating most of my parts boxes so no need to go ballistic. This one is from 1928 to 1929.
They started out originally leather in 1925. And they released certain parts boxes shortly after the calibres were released so jeweler's could repair, here this explains some of it, luckily some of those calibres were in existence just a small window of time.
