Original Packaging for Victor V or VI?

Does anyone have a photograph of the original packaging that Victor V's or VI's came in? I sometimes see Victrola Crates for sale or at least see pictures of them but am curious how the older external machines were shipped from the factory. Don't suppose anyone has a machine along with its original "box".

I have had crates that the machines were shipped in. They are nothing too special and have never keep one. I have even had the "basket" that the wood horns were shipped in. They are made of flat strips of wood and a Victor paper label is on it. It has hardwood ends on it. Again, not a great display item and have never kept any I have had. The only regret I have is selling a small Berliner crate that I had. It had a wonderful branded label on it.
