I recently acquired a second Kalamazoo Bats box and I was reminded that the boxes can be found in two different styles... a blue alligator-type pattern and a white flower pattern. I have one of each, and they both have 1887 bands on them. I know a few people on this board own KB boxes. I'm curious as to which design you have.

Edited to add: The blue one belongs to Leon (I "stole" his scan).
here is mine...and I just checked the one on my shelf...it is this one. You must have borrowed a scan of mine Jon?

Leon- 100% correct although I didn't know it was yours. Both images are the best images I have if each style.

Until Jon showed this flowery one I had only seen the blue version....I do take notice of them but certainly could have missed something...

I didn't even pick up on that. The Legendary example you posted is actually one of the ones I purchased. It is a flower version.
