I won some records on ebay and today they came. I took them out of the larger box they were in and removed them from what I almost thought was a second plain box the person shipped them in.. When I turned it over I was surprised to find that its the original shipping container for the records from Edison.. I wonder how often these show up?

It looks to have held up very well over the years considering the poor condition of some cardboard boxes I have from items from the 60's...
