Box Flaps Summary: All flaps present

Additional Comments: Up for sale is quite possibly the rarest -- either catalogued or uncatalogued -- postwar set box; the 9820 Sears / Allstate military set box from 1964. This one-year-only and uncatalogued outfit was only available through Sears Roebuck and is known for including some of the rarest postwar components such as the; 347 Cannon Firing Range Set, 3666 Cannon Car plus the rare 240 steam locomotive. 

This particular outfit box is in Fair condition but is complete with all original flaps and even includes an original cardboard divider.  Externally, the graphics and marketing detail is present and readable, but there is evidence of duct tape on the bottom of the box. The box also includes the correct manufacturing detail Made by United Container Co. in Philadelphia, Pa. Lastly, the box remains solid, square and sturdy and is a very respectable set box that never surfaces for separate sale.
