Now you're talking about a subject near to my desires - If an 8mm was released in a generic (routine) box, more often it was also available in the standard release box. Take as example the travelogues from CASTLE FILMS - Originally in 'World Parade' flap-top style, then 'Adventures in Travel' 2-piece - However, the mainstay boxes were those which depicted both colorful renderings, choice photographs and alluring graphics to boot - Those are the hard-to-locate items - Think it was Bob Stokes, wrote a nice article for REEL-IMAGE, where he also created boxes for films that MIGHT have been - Too bad we aren't in 1966, as that was a height for collectors, then we all could send our ideas to the various distributors and possibly see such variation in original carton styles - Back then, I thought it would be great to work for the film release companies, even Aurora - Kid dreams - Shorty

Oh yes, Pat, thanks - I need the box for LONDON LANDMARKS, again not te generic 'Adventures in Travel', rather the one depicting Big Ben, The Thames, etc, also the one for SAN JUAN CITY OF CONTRASTS - Will happily take an extra print, but the boxes for those I do need, last ones after a long time in collecting
