Gary,
Thanks for the pictures and information. There is an interesting variety to
these boxes:

I have a few questions:
1) Most of the boxes are colored sleeves that surround a white or black box with
mono-colored graphics. But I've seen some boxes that are full color with flaps -
no tray. Any idea where/when these come from?
2) What is the difference between the 58 & 59 boxes? Are you just recognizing
the picture? I can't see the normal changes in the logo between those two boxes.
3) Do you know if there are UK specific box pictures? I've seen several sleeves
with Made in Great Britain printed on them, but don't know if those are UK only
or not. I've also seen that text stamped on Continental boxes.
4) Are the 1000 series numbers the earlier sets from Denmark? If so, when did
the 1000 series packs cease production?
Thanks,
Clark
