I am also showing a pamphlet from the box (I believe) that included player instructional information, details about the player and some day to day highlights on each player throughout the year. The box is in decent condition and I have never seen another. The pamphlet is pretty common. I believe there is a nice folder with other details that was provided at a dinner or banquet celebrating their MVP seasons. The smaller thing at the bottom right is a clip featuring Books and Boyer that was handed out at the banquet (I believe). The clip is pretty rare. All of these items make for a great display.

I really like the box. I had an opportunity when I really first started collecting to pick a Brooks/Boyer box like the one you have, but it was just to much money at the time. Of course it would have been a steal at that price nowadays.
I bet you put on some Rawlings "Glovolium" on that glove it would come back to life.
I think those 8X10 drawings of Brooks and Boyer were part of the '64 year as well.
I'm unsure if you can see it, but both Brooks and Boyer have on the clips...
