THE BEATLES ORIGINAL SHIPPING BOX FOR "RINGO" BLACK AND RED DRINKING GLASSES!

Description

I only know of one other of these shipping boxes (George), and this one is in a bit better condition than that one. It came from the Knox Glass plant in Knox, Pennsylvania. The box originally held 3 dozen Ringo  4 1/2" tall drinking glasses, which were made in Knox. An employee of the plant, whom I bought sets of these glasses (and the boxes) from, told me that they only made 2 pallet loads of the glasses, which he considered a small production run. The box measures about 17" x 10" x 9" and is in reasonably good condition for what it is. The employee was allowed to take home 10 leftover sets of the glasses after the orders were filled. When he failed to sell any of the sets for each, he packed them away in his garage, and years later sold the sets and the two boxes to me.  The glasses are pictured in "The Beatles Memorabilia Price Guide, 3rd Edition". They are items # 150-#153.
