edison cylinder boxes-3 pack

[gramophoneshane]

Just wondering if anyone can tell me about these boxes I recently got. They are marked "The Pardell Folding Box" on the bottom. Where these made for Edison, and supplied to shops to be given with the purchase of 3 records, or to be used for mail orders or something? Are they fairly hard to come by, and any idea when & for how long they were produced?

Neat boxes, Shane. I saw an example of one of these in a book somewhere but I don't recall where it was.
I'm going to have to see if I can find the reference.
