I didn't get any large arches in my box, but it appears from the pictures on BrickShelf that they would have been in a 2-strap or 2714 combo. My 2-strap contents are a variation on this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=98635 My 3-strap contents are a variation on this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=99638 The sweetest selection I've seen posted is this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=99985 Similarly: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=98797 Every box is a different variation, as the following show: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=99211 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=99373 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=100390 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=100416 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=100859 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=100868 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=101586 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=101638 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=102126 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=102191 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=102714 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=103188 Play well.

(...) Was there a consensus on which box had the big arch part? Was that a two or three strap box? Darrell (20 years ago, 30-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca)
