EXCELLENT 6464-50 Overstamped "Silver" Middle Classic Box This box is correct for the earliest versions of the -175 boxcar. The accepted story is that Lionel wanted the silver "Rock Island" boxcar available for the 1954 Christmas season but it was too late to print new boxes. Their solution was to use available 6464-50 "Minneapolis & St Louis" boxes, rubber-stamp over the name on the end flaps and print the word "SILVER" on all sides. This box has all flaps attached without tape with wear at the folds. The body is solid with one very minor crease and a few rubs. EXCELLENT PLUS
