Does anyone know where I can find it? (still in the original box)

    At this time, I'd bet there are VERY few left in the box if any at all. But you might find an archival photo somewhere.

    There's a recent book by Ron Guth about proof sets which is supposed to discuss the original packaging for proof sets over the years. I haven't seen it myself, but maybe someone else here who does have it could say whether or not it has a photo for 1936.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    How sure are you that 1936 proof sets were sent in a box. It's possible they were sent in an envelope.

    I have an original 1938 proof set that arrived in a cloth/fiber envelope. I bought it from the man that bought it from the mint in 1938.
