Original box will add a bit.

This is the first time I have seen a window box for these - all I have had or seen came with a plain box, like a 250 ct card box style - with foam inside to keep the statue in place. I am guessing your card has the black border, which would be a bit later in the run.

Nice collectibles with a strange and storied past. Enjoy your Hornsby and happy collecting!
Thanks for the response Marty...will make a neat display peice. Happy New Year, Brandon
