Here's another question for the group.. As I add newly discovered boxes to Rings & Things III & www.fruitjarrings.com, I've come to question the practicality of adding boxes that so far have only been pictured in catalogs and/or advertisements. Originally, there were only a few Ball boxes seen in ads & assumed to have existed as real boxes at some point. (See B095, B100 & B150). Now however, there have been numerous "new" boxes pictured in a turn of the century Hulman & Cox catalog, plus 3 Butler Bros catalogs dating from 1915-1925. I'm inclined to add them to my listings, but I'd like to know what you have to say - yea or Nay? Here are some of those photos, be warned - some of the pictures are pretty tiny and/or blurry.
