When I was younger I was given several WWII era aircraft control panel instruments in there sealed original cartons. Not knowing any better I opened a few to look at them though one I managed to leave in the original sealed box to this day

I recall seeing some similar boxes at my flying club a long time ago. Being British they were all marked up with a typically understated "Handle like eggs" :grin:
