It will be a bit of a chore, but I think most people would be interested in the information about the gun for which the box was made - model number, barrel length, and letter prefix/serial number. Also, the color and condition of the box plus any goodies inside.

For S & W, the best reference is the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 3rd edition, it has a pretty good box summary. You will definitely have a lot of interest in these, especially the older boxes. Prices will vary widely, about $15-20 for a modern/common one up to a few hundred or more for a nice older box with all accessories and paperwork. Good luck!
