1952 Hank Snow RCA Victor 45 rpm Shipping Box 47-5034 & the Rainbow Ranch Boys

Description

This auction is for an original RCA Victor "45 RPM" shipping box (probably held 25 45s back in 1952). I got this out of an old record store (over 20 years ago) that had been in business since the 1940s. One of the sides of the box has "No." printed on it and the catalog number hand written is 47-5034. A check of an RCA Discography shows that was for the single "(Now and Then, There's) A Fool Such As I" b/w "The Gal Who Invented Kissin'" by Hank Snow and the Rainbow Ranch Boys issued in 1952. The box measures 7-1/2" x 7-1/2" x 2-1/2". The front and back show Nipper. (See photos) The box is in good condition - the store owner didn't open the bottom (where it said "open here"), but did open the top flap - the front of the box (with the large "45" RPM) has a small surface tear on the bottom of the red square, and a few scuffs - the back of the box (with "Glue Address Label Here") has a 7-1/2" crease and continues on the top and bottom flaps , there is a small tear next to the "RCA" circled logo at the bottom, there are several scuffs on the bottom half - the top flap has a vertical crease and a bend in the upper right - the bottom flap has several creases - the side flap has "14" written in the lower right hand corner. A NICE PIECE OF HANK SNOW / RCA VICTOR THAT WASN'T AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC! Priority postage is FREE.
