Box question

[Fox Mike]

What would be the proper box for a Red Eagle type 5 (4 digit) Standard?

[d findley]

Same one piece, hinged lid box was used from 1949 to 54.

I know you didn't ask for it, but its a slow day. From the bottom up:
1 piece, hinged red eagle (RST4) box - # on end 0194
1 piece, hinged Target Model (T678) no number
1 piece, hinged Target (T514) #28721
2 piece RST4 #172312
2 piece Target T678 #72420
2 piece Target T514 No number

Don isn't 0194 in a Salt Cod Box sent to Lockport NY?

[d findley]

Yes it was. To a guy named John Morgan. If I remember correctly, you knew that guy. Right?

[Watertender]

Yes Don, He was a friend of my Grandpa's. I remember that pistol when I was a kid

[d findley]

It took me several years to talk Mr. Morgan out of that pistol. Here is a picture of it the way I got it (and still have it).
