<p>David,</p>
<p>The images were found on the net, the whole thing is really easily manipulated in photoshop, only thing is the image has to be reasonably good otherwise I will have to redraw, thanks for the info in this as us tube boxes are different to the ones over here in the uk.</p>
<p>as you can imagine these were usually thrown away,</p>
<p>I did think about the open ended type of box, they used to sell light bulbs in them, the closed end types are much stronger.</p>
<p>Thanks for your…</p>

<p>Mike - The Sylvania box forest graphics you selected may be too early, dating to the late 1920's globe tube era when Sylvania was applying a leaf decal (green and yellow - like on the tube box art) on the tube top or to near the top to avoid a grid cap like a 24 has.</p>

<p>I'll take a photo of the the earliest green and black version Sylvania I have - earliest because there is a cardboard liner around the tube and simple flap ends. Where as later style green and black designs either 1) had an unsecured inner open sided box that slides out with the tube or 2) were the secured boxes that allowed testing without breaking the staple seal. My early box contained a NIB tube with green paint logo. I have some earlier used hot branded Sylvania tubes but don't know what box art these would have had, but suspect they predate when Scott changed from Arcturus tubes to Sylvania after Scott abandoned the Wunderlick 2nd detector for the 55 tube mid way through the AW-15 production.</p>

The posted images are the correct size if printed at 25%,<br />
Images are 300dpi native to ensure a good print,<br />
the paper I used is 300gsm European I think that this is about 200lb us,<br />
I used 100% recycled, not to save the planet, because this is the nearest I could find to old tube boxes,<br />
Yes the card is off white, maybe a trip through the oven would cure this, making it slightly brown.<br />
The square tube support is optional but it does stiffen up the carton quite a lot,<br />

Thanks I have seen those, Arcturus ones as well, I can only find two sides of the Sylvania box and one end, maybe best guess will do.

<p>I did a web search for Sylvania tube boxes. There are pix of the green and black and also a red and white one and the newer yellow and black boxes.</p>
