Murad box
 

Posted By: <b>Richard Dwyer</b><p>Need some help with this one. No tax stamp. No factory, district or state codes. Looks exactly like Leon's box. Size is 2 1/4" by 3". Only printing on the back: "Made in Japan", and a bunch of jibberish I can't make out. (Looks like the printing is backwards) What was distributed in Murad boxes? Was this a Japanese issue or were all the Murad boxes made in Japan? Any other info would be appreciated. TIA

Posted By: <b>Jon Canfield</b><p>Richard - if you have scans, they may help. However, Murad's were not produced exclusively in Japan. My guess would be that you may have a box that was produced for Japanese distribution. Murad was around for quite some time and was still producing "clam-shell" type boxes into the 1940s and 1950s.<br><br>==================================== ==<br />For the premier online souce of information on baseball-related cigarette packs, visit <a href="http://www.baseballandtobacco.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.baseballandtobacco.com</a>
