Ludo,
The box is from the 1960's. If the bricks have posts in them, then they are
from the late 1960's. If they are hollow, then they are from the mid 1960's.
Most early 1960's boxes were two pieces: a sleeve that slid over a tray. Your
box looks like it is one whole box.
Is there a country of origin printed on the side of the box? The PTT is Dutch,
the others are British.
I keep a gallery of printed bricks on Brickshelf, may I add your photos to it?

I also keep a gallery of boxes. My info on boxes is slim. I don't know exactly
what, if any, designs appeared on both tray & whole style boxes. Lugnet shows a
tray version of the 226, but with a different box design.

Hope that helps,
Clark
