I live near an old RCA factory.
I found this http://dfpresource.org/rca_tube_bigbox.jpg in a dumpster!
It's probably a promotional item, it's just a big cardboard box. It's a
bit warped from humidity, but otherwise looks like it has never been
opened.
Has anyone ever seen something like this?
PS: The RCA building is now a bunch of offices, lofts, etc...

Yes... this is/was and advertising box that was given to tube dealers
for their showrooms. Frequently seen on top shelves or hung from the
ceiling. Although RCA did make some big-ass tubes and probably did have
some suitable boxes for them as well.

Where are you? In Camden or Sommerville?

Hi,
I'm in Montreal, you can barely make out "Canada" on the bottom of the
box, and it says Montreal before.
Is this a rare item? Can I open it up?

i remember when windows95 came out, we got these large promotional boxes.
couple snips with the scissors for arms and one for my head and i made a
halloween costume out of it g

that looks a little smaller, but i bet a kid would fit!
