Cool. Where in the world did you find that?
I still have the original packaging that it was mailed to me in, otherwise I wouldn't know. I got it from Excelsior Gallery in Sacramento, CA. in 1984. Wow!! I've had it almost 40 years.
I also have a printing plate for the Redbook. I forget right off what year Redbook it was for.
Great item.
Interesting exonumia. 3 million containers... wow... Cheers, RickO
