GENERAL INFO
Like the 15A, the 15B Rotinoff Super Atlantic Tractor has many B box variations. The first one is the same as the last 15A box used. Then a first box with the picture stretched to fit the box was a B4, showing a large drawing of the front view of the model. It was followed by another B4, this time the drawing is smaller. Note that the two end flaps are different: the first shows “Atlantic” in small letters, while the second has no quote and is capital letters.
A B5 box was later released. It features a side view with all yellow wheels and hubs and yellow grille as well. The “Atlantic” is back on the end flaps again!
Two C boxes were available, one with the large front view used on the first B4 box, and the other C box uses the later drawing used on the B5 box.
The last box was the D1 box showing the orange model with black wheels.
All boxes for the 15B model are size 3.
RARITY
The C box with the large model is a bit harder to find and the D box is scarce, but not rare.
