Winchester Box___Identification Help

[jpc]

Hi:

I have had this box around for years and cannot remember what came in it.
It is 35 inches long and has an 1866/1966 seal on it.

Any help appreciated

That appears to be a shotgun box. Perhaps one that was produced during Winchester's centennial year which was 1966 (hence the 1866-1966 sticker)

Maybe a 101?

Winchester Cooey?

Shotgun-that makes sense.
I know my SRC is too long for the box.

Thanks

I love the design! Could that be my Polish Hunting Tartan?

Likely it could have been a commemorative Model 1894 in honour of The "Improved Henry" or Model 1866 Yellow Boy. They made commemorative '94's for just about anything. In fact, I'd say a non-commemorative Model '94 is harder to find.

The box is too short for a carbine or rifle

Not sure what came in the box but the pattern is called "Winchester Plaid"

Coats, boxes, thermos' lunch boxes were made in the pattern. As for inside the box
I will wait for the correct answer

Paul: I have the Bud Haynes catalogue for Aug 23 2008 and there are 3 boxes like yours there.
Lot A-23 Win 94 Canadian Cent. Comm. 30-30 Rifle 26" barrel. Gun sold for $550
Lot A-24 Win 94 Canadian Cent. Comm. 30-30 carbine 20" barrel Gun sold $500
Lot A-36 Win 94 Illinois Sesquicentennial Conn 30-30 Carbine 20" Gun sold for $600
Seems there was more than 1 type of gun in the box

anytime It was always sweet when you got a present like that under the tree. When I was a youngster you could actually shoot on your property in Southern Ontario. When youn heard gun shots in the Jane and Finch area it was guys shooting rabbits. No sh=t

A 35" box like the one in the photo is a "standard" size for a take down shotgun.

Could be a Model 37 single shot, Model 1200 pump, Model 1400 auto-loader, Model 101
O/U etc., etc.

The Winchester plaid also showed up on the liner flannel of sleeping bags and inside
guncases.
