The bottom left hand box was a test "mock up" called the "Morrum Cardinal". This reel was released eventually as the Suverian so this box is a "one-off production" example which was never sold to my knowledge. Interesting to see how, not only packaging can be changed at the last moment, but also the actual model name.

Eventually, having so many reels, and a penchant to enjoy them by seeing and touching, I discovered that there was huge variety in the box packaging of yesteryear compared to the awful plastic sealed bubble boxes , convenient to today's chain store sales! So I just  hung them in an old bait net from the ceiling of my room.

Many more interesting observations and images of unusual ABU packaging to come here  in time. Some prototype boxes too!
