Boxes for Mamod products always add that little extra to a models completness. Over the years Mamod used a vast assortment of cardboard boxes ranging from  simple one and two colour work through to the full colour printing (introduced in c1957/8). Over the years mamod has won awards fro its packaging (white full colour boxes of the early 1970s), it may only protect the model in transit, but keeping the box addes to the value and historical prevenance of the model - so hang on to your cardboard.

Some ME boxes. Simple 1 colour labels


Straw board box c1954. 2 colour applied label


Window boxes introduced around the mid 1960s, initially blue (more info needed)





Full colour boxes from 1957


Simple card box and applied two-colour label c1948/9


Full colour c1976 (export)


Mamod and other toy steam boxes from Latimer and Bowman/Luton Bowman




Please post more examples with explanations.
