MY FOTW (!)
I actually found this on Saturday on the way up town with my daughter. I
kept quiet about it so far as it is so difficult to describe. I borrowed
a camera last night, and have just posted some pictures.

The pictures are taking forever to download, so all I've seen so far is
the picture of the box. My guess is that Gary Istok is going to wet his
pants :-). I also wouldn't be surprised if he suggests you donate more
to the charity. I could see the wood box all by itself being worth what
you paid...

Ok, now I've seen the pictures. It's a real shame the inventory sheet on
the inside of the box is torn. That and the fact that you may not have
all the pieces seem to be the only detriments.

  I'm stunned by the clarity of the transparent bricks!  I have some from just
18-20 years ago that have already gone cloudy.  For that matter, I wasn't even
aware that they ever made transparent macaroni bricks.

   What a find!

(...) I picked up about 30 transparent macaroni bricks in a lot of 60s LEGO macaroni bricks (about 30 each of white, red, and clear). They are somewhat cloudy, but not as bad as some of the other old clear bricks I've got from other lots. (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk)
