Dan, are you saying that this really neat original Schapira Bros. counter display box was used both in 1921 for the little candy boxes similar to the ones you pictured that had the Babe Ruth cards on the boxes, and in 1921-22 for the little circus-animal-themed candy boxes that contained inserted black & white cards of many different players (1 card per box), including WaJo and Ruth (if the SGC pop report is correct)?

Many years ago, I had several of the little circus-animal-themed candy boxes (wish I had kept at least 1 of them) and several of the b & w cards. The only cards I still have are a WaJo (the nicer one below) and a Joe Judge.

That's amazing, Dan. Outstanding piece.

No Val I am fairly sure this display box was only for the little animal boxes 1922 as those were found with it buddy!

Hope you are doing super my friend!

I always found the animal illustrations to be creepy. Kind of like the ghosts in the Minnie The Moocher cartoon.

Amazing what's out there to be discovered!
