I already have the book, as I mentioned in #12 above. There are no .38 Special boxes shown in it anywhere. In fact, the book's coverage is about 99% of CF rifle caliber boxes with a very few exceptions. The closest box of that type pictured was for a .38 WCF with a red label and block print WINCHESTER in quotes and identified as for use in Winchester Model 1873 and 1892 rifles, which is described as "post-1906" (p.63). There is another .38-40 box (high velocity) which is similar, except it has a yellow label, and is stated as being from the 1906-1912 period (p.65). Finally, there is a .32-20 HV box with a yellow label (similar to the .38-40 HV box) described as "introduced in 1905"(p. 57). There are somewhat similar boxes of .25-20 and .32/.35/.351 WSL with the same dating. Based upon those pictured examples, it is inescapable that the .38 Special box dates from 1905 or later.
