Which handcuffs had the coolest box?

Question for the collectors. Which handcuffs had the coolest box? As a collector myself, I've always thought the box was one of the neatest parts. I've always prefered the old S&W box of the model 90 to the newer ones. To me new boxes (that I've seen) just don't have the same character.

Anybody have any opinions on any that had a fancier box? From pics I've seen I've always liked the colt box too.

Hi! I was just looking here and posting something when I saw your message.
I was going to tell you the same thing you said COLT!!! Also for some reason I like the older PEERLESS and SMITH & WESSON that come in the brown boxes. And WICHESTER now has cuffs out but I have not seen the boxes yet?

There's an auction on ebay right now that shows the winchester box. Basically it's like their white ammunition boxes. Was the brown boxes just a reference to peerless or did S&W used to come in brown also? I like the older S&W boxes with the metal corners.

Boxes definately help make an item more desirable.
