FS: New Ampico Top Hat Boxes
By Ron Babb

I discovered I have a case of 80 Ampico "top hat" roll boxes, with
inserts, made for Frank Adams of AMR (Automatic Music Roll Co. of
Arlington, Washington).  When Frank shut down AMR in the late 1980s
he had leftover stock.  I ended up with the unopened case of boxes.

Frank's boxes were nearly perfect reproductions of the original Ampico
boxes but made with a heavier cardboard.  One could drive a car over
one of these boxes and not crush it, I believe.

I thought I would ask 5 dollars a box plus shipping, with discounts
for volume purchases.  These really are very nice boxes.
