There has always been a bit of confusion when collectors describe the Schapira series'. (That is supposed to be plural, oh how I hope that apostrophe is correct, but I am only going about 50-50 on thinking I got it right.) Here is a larger version of a Schapira Bros. "Big Show" box with a regular smaller version Schapira Bros. Big Show box. I don't believe the large ones had the cards inserted into them. Prevailing thought has the cards being put into the smaller ones.

Then we have the other "Schapira Bros." candy box series that had an oval Ruth on one side, of which there are 2 slight printing differences known, and a different Ruth on the other side. Since the oval Ruth was on every box, but not so the other side, there are many more oval cards than the other styles. They are easily recognized as being different than the "Big Show" cards as the Big Show ones are photographic in nature and the Schapira Bros. ones are the sides of the candy box.
