GENERAL INFO

The 27B, slightly different from its predecessor, used the same box as the latest from 27A when it came on the market in 1958. It was replaced by another blue rectangle box, but the model is higher in the picture and the numbers are smaller. Both are B2 boxes.

The first size box showed a short version of the model while the last variation uses the same picture as the second variation, but it is stretched to fit a size 3 box. Both size boxes are B4 and no B5 box is known to exist.

RARITY

There is not enough information to tell if any of the box variations for this model is particularly rare.
