GENERAL INFO
The 21C Commer Bottle Float is another interesting model for which boxes are special. It first appeared in a C box, with New Model on end flaps. It was followed by a D1 box, showing the light green model and black wheels. The cow decal is shown. The D2 boxes are very particular, as 21C is the only known model for which the D2 boxes have different ways of displaying the model’s name. The very first D2 box shows “MILK DELIVERY TRUCK” on two lines, while the following D2 variations show the text on one single line!
The E box, an E3 sub-type, again showing the cow in doors and was followed by a final variation package in E4 box.
RARITY
The C box is not that easy to find, and the two-line end flap D2 box is less common. E boxes are quite easy to find.
