Nice box Steve!
Funny, I could swear that it looks just like the #712/#713 (full/empty) 11"x 14
3/4" wooden box sets from 1963-65 or even the #822/#823 (full/empty) wooden box
sets from 1966-68. Those were only sold in continental Europe. They contained
only blue/yellow bricks, white classic windows/door, and a yellow 10x20
baseplate.
Yes, the resemblance to the box from those 60's sets is amazing!
