In the course of time, Faber-Castell used a lot of different types of boxes to package its slide rules.
Following an overview of all the main types of boxes and cases that I have in my collection.
Boxes (mainly 10" slide rules)
Following all the boxes in my collection of 10"or 20"slide rules. I have listed them more or less in chronological order. Below each box I list the manufacturing dates of slide rules in my collection that have such a box.
In general one can say that:
- black carton boxes are dated before 1940
- Green carton boxes are use from WW-II till the end of the 50-ies
- After 1960 boxes are generally plastic.
