OK. WHO IS HOARDING MY #120's box? Getting jealous of all you matching box pairs... Even if mine is the second lowest known...
I have a good few pairs of absolutely mint x metals I only wish I had matching boxes for ....
Just lucky with the JBR I guess !

Yeah.. Same story here..

done and done.
Why is a matching box so hard to get
Oakley randomly placed the boxes for these with the pairs so most of them do not match...
...just kidding, of course - but wouldn't that be cool? A limited run of *something [metal]* with intentionally mis-matched boxes so real collectors would have to find the matching box!

as of now NONE of the boxes for pairs that currently have wrong boxes are known to exist. from what i understand, the coating on JBRs were finicky (the first 100 never made it.. or so we think), and the later ones must have had issues here and there as well. They probably just replaced the error pairs with another pair, hence the mismatching of box/frames.
as of now the lowest we have is 107, and highest is 453 (a long gap away from 409, the second highest serial). a total of 37 pairs recorded.
This is one of the rarest Juliets... How many corvette were made? is there a rarer Juliet?
My JC is 832 (matching box), much higher than we've seen for a JBR.
Did these ever actually make it to retail? Or did they all go through kerb sales, where they just matched with the nearest box to hand? It is odd that so few match - we're used to boxes being lost over time, but wholesale mismatching is odd.
RvF noted that these were listed as coming to UK retail, but never made it officially - are they ever on US price lists?- Status
