The 50B John Deere Lanz 7800 Tractor is one of those “shade” cases where the very first variation was printed in a darker color. The E1 “NEW MODEL” box was dark green, as opposed to the lighter green available for the E1 box without the “NEW MODEL” end flap mention as well as all subsequent boxes.
To add to this particularity, the first box was released in a larger size than all the rest of the boxes, as shown here:
50B was available in E1, E3 and E4 boxes. The E4 box was never made available with “®”. The “John Deere Lanz” was added to the end flap description, but only on the E4 box. Previously, only “Tractor” was written on end flaps.
The 50B boxes don’t attract much particular desire, as they are all relatively common. The “NEW MODEL” darker green variation is probably the most interesting to have. E3 box is also less common. None of those variations should command a premium.
