In early summer of 1984 I was in the late Herschel Chadick’s gun shop in Terrell, Texas and he had an original wooden shipping crate from Parker Brothers. Inside of it was a cardboard box in which the gun was contained during shipment. The wooden crate had Parker Brothers return address along with the customers address. It also had the railway markings. As I recall the dates were in the mid 1890’s. Herschel also the gun which as I remember was a GH grade. Always regret never purchasing all but the family and I were on a two week western trip and I had allocated my discretionary income to our travels. ��
Oh, forgot to mention, the packing contents were of a cardboard type shredded material. ��
