I was told that this box was called a “5th Of A Case”.   These were supposedly sold to dealers that didn’t need a full case for their inventory during the depression era.  I have never seen another box or ‘case’ of five boxes in any caliber and I am curious.  The box on top is similar to the boxes in the case.  The dealer I bought them from was kind enough to shrink wrap the box for me after I checked out the contents, which were pristine.  I doubt I will ever open it again.  Anyone have any information or correction to the information I got?  

Thanks,

Roger
