You are right that the set 810 does come in a timber storage box,(1966!!)
however, ours is double thickness, holds two trays inside one on top of the
other, these trays have many compartments and are full of basic.
Judging from the depth of the box in the photo of the 810 you mentioned, it
appears to have only one layer.
Also, ours has no logo on the side, but the large printed logo on the top,
this is the only identifying feature.
I wouldve expected that ours would've been later than the 810, also, as my
partner recieved it in the mid 70's.
Though the fact that the 810 comes full of basic, indicates that ours was most
probably full, when purchased, rather than filled by the gift-giver, we had
been wondering about that.
