Hello everyone:

I have a nice copy of a third printing brown box that did not come with the front box cover label.  According to Jim Ward, they were occasionally in such a hurry to get orders out of the door, that sometimes labels were missed.  

My question is whether or not anyone knows how rare these examples are?  I know that I do not have the only one, but I am wondering if anyone knows approximately how many of these were made like this.

Thanks.

Alex

So that would be (whirr, clank, whirr, clink, ding!) twenty five percent.  

Assuming that strat has a completely random set of brown boxes, of course.

I also have an unlabeled brown box that came with reference sheets. I've been using it to hold recently published digest sized booklets.
