I know most of them aren't that vintage but I was wondering if anyone has ever seen the marlin wood box? Bought it at a gun show because I liked the box...

The box with the Marlin rifle on it looks like someone took a cutting of an old sales add and attached it to a small wooden box. Appears to list the features and price of the rifle, maybe from an old sales catalog from the "Hudson Sporting Goods" company listed at the bottom? I have a reprint of an early catalog that has various guns listed in a similar format. Does it have any ammunition in it? I like the old Canadian boxes, have several in my collection, the "gold" finish ones look really classy!
