Title: Which Vintage Sea Wolf.........
Post by: surchir on February 10, 2024, 03:52:07 PM
do I need to fill this box?  I have two other SW boxes with different logos.  Does anyone know which series would have come in this box?

Great find Yuri! Zodiac used green boxes and then switched to red some time in the early 1960's.

Here are my 3 SW boxes. Two appear to be identical, with the exception of the Dateographic difference. The other is Dateopraphic with the different box logo ( on the left ).

Still learning the variations, so not sure if my SW's are in the correct boxes.

Please be mindful that boxes may have differed in different markets - especially the print. Not all markets would have English text for instance.

In my family we have a blue Zodiac box as well, not for a SeaWolf if I remember correctly, but still, it represents another variant.

Through most of the years I spent time in the warehouse of my fathers Zodiac import business to my recollection I only ever saw red boxes (the early years would be very unreliable though given my age). This would be from the late 60ies until the mid/late 70ies when brown became the dominant colour. I'm unsure if this design change co-incided with Zodiac changing owners in 1979, but I think it may have been before.

In other words: There may be no definite answer to this question, only educated guesses.

True, hat's all any of of has. I think it was DIXI that went to the brown boxes.
