Postwar Lionel Original Boxes
Postwar Lionel Original Set ("Outfit") Boxes:
# DescriptionStyleGradePriceDetails
2274W Set Box Corr 7+ $825 A seldom-seen box for the Pennsylvania GG1 "O" Gauge passenger car outfit from 1956!
Photo of the numbered side.
The box measures 12 7/8 inches wide by 20 1/4 inches deep by 7 1/2 inches high.
Photo of the opposite side.

Photo of one of the long sides.
One corner is separating; writing on one end; tears; creases; stains inside and on the bottom; a few rips on the bottom exposing a few areas of the inside ribbing;
Photo of the other long side.
Overall this box is complete, fairly clean, rather square and sturdy! In addition, no one has ever attempted to repair this box in any way and there is no un-original tape anywhere!

Photo of the top.
The original contents included the 2340 Tuscan PRR five-stripe double-motor GG1 Electric plus these Pennsylvania extruded aluminum passenger cars: 2541 ALEXANDER HAMILTON Observation Car, 2542 BETSY ROSS Vista Dome Car, 2543 WILLIAM PENN Pullman Car and the 2544 MOLLY PITCHER Pullman Car.
Photo of the bottom.
This corrugated box was made by the Kraft / St. Joe Paper Co.
Close-up of the Manufacturer's Data, ID and year.

This basket-weave style box is for the outfit known as the Congressional Set -- one of the most sought-after prizes of the postwar era! Passenger car set boxes are far less common than freight sets and a 2274W box is rarely offered for sale!
2297WS Set Box Corr 7 $725 The Gibraltar Corrugated Paper Co. box from 1957 for a "Super 0" freight set headed up by the 746 Norfolk & Western 4-8-4 Steamer!
Photo of the numbered side.
With its two large accessories (plus their special "companion" cars) and two other large operating cars, the 2297WS outfit is a very interesting and extensive freight set providing endless hours of "play value" for young railroaders. It was also the most expensive set that Lionel offered in the decade of the 1950s with a whopping $110 retail price tag!
Photo of the opposite side.
The box is HUGE -- one of the largest set boxes ever made by Lionel! It measures 24 1/8 inches long by 16 inches wide by 10 1/2 inches high -- practically a footlocker!

Photo of one of the long sides.
One corner is separated; another corner is mildly crushed; writing on one side; tears; scuffs; creases; a dent on one edge of the bottom; a rip exposing a small area of the inside ribbing; a couple of small punctures; tape residue around the set number from the original sealing tape. It's a laundry list of blemishes but only one corner has flaws worth discussing. Given the enormous size of this box, it would be very, very hard to find a nicer 2297WS set box!
Photo of the other long side.
Overall this basket-weave style box is complete, clean, rather square and very sturdy! In addition, no one has ever attempted to repair this box in any way and there is no un-original tape anywhere!

Photo of the top.
The original contents included the following: 746 N & W "J" & 746W N & W whistling tender, 345 operating culvert unloader with 6342 culvert gondola, 264 operating fork lift with 6264 lumber car, 3356 operating horse car (with corral), 3662 Milk Car (with milk stand), and 6517 bay window caboose -- truly a "super" set and one of the most sought-after sets of the postwar era!
Photo of the bottom.

It's a $4,500 set (or more) -- but not without the set box!
19142 Set Box Corr 7 $ 30 Photo of the numbered side of the box.
A Mead Containers box for the 242 steamer / Stokely Van Camp Promotional outfit sold in 1962. The 6-piece uncatalogued "027" set contained an unusual mixed consist comprising both a space/military car and freight train cars. The box measures 11 1/2 inches long by 10 1/4 inches wide by 6 1/4 inches high.
Another view of the box.
The box has tape, tape residue, tears, creases, punctures, stains, writing and some small pieces missing.
Photo of the fourth side of the box.
Despite the flaws, the box is solid: square and sturdy.
Photo of the bottom of the box.

Overall this corrugated box is decent and it is not an easy one to find. As documented on page 482 in the Schmid book on Promotional Outfits, the 19142 was the first Tan RSC Mailer with Black Graphics outfit box. He states that "these boxes were made of a thicker corrugated material (rated at 90 pounds rather than the normal 65 pounds gross weight) that allowed each outfit to be shipped in its outfit box. The manufacturer omitted any Lionel printing on the box top to leave room for a mailing label." In fact, this box was shipped to a customer just that way as an old shipping label on the top of the box provides us with a little history of this set box.
Photo of the top of the box.
On December 18, 1962 the set was initially shipped from the Custom Service Corporation (located in Spring Park, Minnesota) to a customer named Mrs. Mary Ann Doherty who once lived at 11 Bypass Lane in Levittown, Pennsylvania.
Close-up of the customer's shipping label.

Original contents of the set included: 242 plastic, 2-4-2 Scout steam engine, 1060T "streamlined" non-whistling tender, 3309 Turbo Missile Firing Flatcar, 6406 Flatcar with Automobile (which could have been either a yellow, green or brown auto with gray bumpers), 6050 Stokely Van Camp Savings Bank Boxcar and a 6067-25 SP-type caboose (which could have been either red or brown).
19191 Set Box Corr 7 $175 Here's a very, very unusual item: a St. Joe (Kraft) Paper Co. corrugated box for the 236 steamer Promotional outfit sold by Macy's in 1962. The 7-piece uncatalogued "027" set contained four "higher-end" cars plus a caboose.
Photo of one of the numbered sides.
The box measures 11 1/2 inches wide by 10 1/4 inches long by 6 1/2 inches high.
Another view of the box.
The box was originally opened with a knife and therefore the two inner flaps are still glued to the bottom of the two top flaps. In addition, the box has tears, creases, scrapes, some tape, paint on the bottom, punctures, small stains, an "aged" look and "period" writing.
Photo of the top of the box.
Despite that list of flaws, this box is still solid: square, sturdy and rather brick-like.
Photo of the bottom of the box.

Overall this corrugated box is decent and it is very, very difficult to find as only 300 of the 19191 sets were produced! This is documented on page 532 in the Schmid book on Promotional Outfits. The box still has the original Macy's $29.99 price tag on it!

Original contents of the set included: 236 plastic, 2-4-2 Scout Steam Engine with smoke, 1060T "streamlined" non-whistling Tender, 3357 Animated Hobo & Railroad Policeman Car (also called the "Hydraulic Platform Maintenance Car"), 3370 Wells Fargo Sheriff & Outlaw Car (also called the "Animated Stock Car"), 6473 Rodeo Car (also called the "Horse Transport Car") 6445 Gold Bullion Transport Car (also called the "Fort Knox Mint Car") and a 6057-25 SP-type Caboose.

C Perf 9 $ 50 Here's a box that does not show up for sale very often: a perforated panel type box for the United States Army Mobile Missile Launcher sold from 1959-62.
Photo.
Panel is partially separated; box is a little brittle. That's it for flaws! A solid box that is complete & square -- and very, very clean with no un-original tape anywhere!
Another view.
This Mead Containers box is not that easy to find -- and this one is gorgeous!

Photo of the bottom of the box.
Separate Sale Master Cartons are hard to find and this one is certainly an obscure box -- one that we have never had before! An unusual item that will be a great addition to any collection!

Close-up of the manufacturer's information and year.

We have never seen a 264 box this nice before; it is a virtual BRICK! If you have a mint or like new Fork Lift Platform, it deserves this box.

A gorgeous and very unusual Kieckhefer Container Co. box for the 665 steam engine sold in 1966: "No. 665" is stamped on the end flaps but in the '60s, Lionel was trying to cut costs and use existing box inventory; in this case, the 665 steamer was sold using a box reflecting "2065-17" as the part number!

Close-up of one of the stampings.

Photo of the box & the coupler inserts.
Minor tears; small dents; some dirt; "period" writing; creases; mildly distorted; "aged" look. Sounds like a lot of flaws, but they are relatively minor and this is a very nice box!
Another view.

This box is solid -- fairly clean, complete, square, rather brick-like and there is no tape anywhere! It is one of the nicest 2443 boxes I have ever seen and the 2443 box rarely shows up for sale separately. This box would represent a significant upgrade for many, many collectors!
3359 Operating
Dump Car
Late Classic 7 $ 25 Photo.
One end is missing an inner flap & a tuck and that end is taped shut; mild crease; "aged" look; no insert.
Another view.
A few flaws but this box is still presentable as it is square, fairly clean and has both end flaps. The 3359 box is hard to find nice and this one is better than most.
3361Operating
Lumber Car
Middle Classic 7+ $ 30 A decent box with insert for the operating Log Dump Car sold in 1955:
Photo.

Another view.
Tears; tape inside; puncture; mildly distorted; "period" writing. This box is very presentable as it is clean and complete.
Photo of the insert.
It is very, very hard to find this box in collector-quality condition as the cradle ends on the car usually caused the box to be destroyed from the inside out. This one is the first larger-size 3361 box from 1955 we have ever had available for separate sale!

Photo.
Missing both interior coupler flaps; tape; creases; scrapes; small stains.
Another view.
This is the smaller (10 1/2 by 2 1/2 by 2 5/8 inch) box. The smaller-style box with no liner (insert) and the "3469X" on the end flaps & sides indicate that this box housed a car was originally part of a set -- not a separate sale item.

A very presentable box even with the flaws as it is fairly clean and fairly square.

A photo of the front of the box.

The box has a few flaws but it is still the nicest 6464-825 box we have ever had available -- and it's a box that rarely shows up for sale.

The Alaska is usually one of the last 6464 boxcars that a collector will purchase and the elusive 6464-825 box is almost always the last one found -- if ever.

Photo of the tuck with the part number providing proof that it is the 6536 box.
Check your collection on this one --the M. & St. L Quad Hopper is not that easy to locate and the box is very, very tough to find! I have never seen a 6536 box offered for separate sale!
