Notice the trademark is no longer printed at neither the top of the face panel, nor on the left side panel, and now appears printed along with the patent information on the added far-right side panel. Note also, the significant changes of both side panels, to include a framed simplified text panel on the left side and framed two-step opening instructions on the right. This Grade 3 example is one of only three examples, with the "Packed Expressly for" statement, known to the author, and a quality, Grade 1 example may not exist. Rarity Rating: R-9."
