Here are a couple of rare boxes in nice condition. Both full of original ammo. The .380 is sealed.

Nice boxes. I think that might be the first sealed .380 box I've seen.

The 32 box looks like the early version, it was larger than later ones because it had cardboard dividers for the cartridges. The later 32 boxes had wire loops on each end that could be bent over to hold the top on after it was unsealed.

Yes it has dividers. The black border on the front label is unique to this box too.
The wire loops were used on the 380 boxes also.

Great looking old cartridge boxes, thanks for posting. I read in an old catalog or ad that these cartridges were known by Savage as 32 Automatic Savage Pistol (ASP). Same for 380. Trying to avoid using Colt's name. Neat stuff.
