Secondly, I'd expect it to have shelfwaer and so...

This set has its original shelfwear. Maybe I must "sharpen" my english..
Isn't cellophane the same word as shelfware in US ?
Anyway. The first Lego sets often had cellophane/shelfware on the inner box,
where the brics were. Nowdays you can often lift/flip the cover to see (and
be tempted). In old days you  instead could slide the outher box to the
side, and look "inside" trough the cellophane/shelfwaer.
My #111 has its cellophane/shelfware (on the inner box) as originally!
The outher box looks old, but nobody has ever touched the bricks behind the
sealing ;-)

I assume shelfWARE could very well be cellophane or other packaging intended
for use of storing items on a shelf, but shelfWEAR is dents, nicks,
scratches, marks, etc. on the box from being on the shelf...
