Well most of one. I don't think that there are to many of these left. roy

That sucker is rare indeed and what a great idea to frame it.

Or this Fox De Luxe from Grand Rapids!

A phoenix Cone Box has got to be tough. LEON.

[canman65]

Seen some of those at Frankenmuth. The authentic cone has to be way rarer than that box...IMHO

[Leon]

I seen more cones then box's

[bantam10]

I wonder if the 41' on the bottom of the phoenix box is a date?

[Leon]

Since the Phoenix is a prewar Bulb Top & Bulb tops were made approximately 1940-41 I would guess good chance the 41 is the date. LEON.

Very cool Cremo box Roy! Gotta love boxes that had rare labels in them. This one is a label I've never seen...

a fifty pack of Blatz and a backup plan! My Grandfather did not mess around- Bjorn

Leon may have seen more cone than boxes but, I have not. I have seen at least 10-15 of those boxes going back to 1988, when I joined the club.

Dan - that Cream Top is off the hook!

Here's a Falls City box I got from Rand in a trade. Marked IRTP and has a war bonds seal on the bottom.
I'd say cardboard pieces are rare in numbers as they don't hold up as well as cans or bottles over time.

I have A Old Crown and it's For Sale.

Mine, still has 24 full steinies

Mine, still has 24 full steinies

I wish I could say my 6 pack of 1935 FB/IR Schlitz cones was still full. LEON.

I'm not so sure. Many of those long neck case boxes are heavy and sturdy. People recognized long ago how handy they were and have been storing stuff in them ever since. I don't know how many times I have been at a garage sale or in a friend or relative's garage and seen a beer box used for storage.

The bottles or cans they were designed to carry have long since been thrown away, but the boxes survive in much higher numbers.

Not a very good picture but Woody could post a better one. This one once held the All-Malt Quart Cones.
It came from Woody's find years ago and came to visit me for many years until I sold off some Croft stuff so it went back home.
