One of the first things I take a picture of when I have a box apart is the mold date stamp. It's usually on the inside of the case back and shows the date when the part was injection molded. While not a definitive created-on-date, it's as close as we can get to when a box was manufactured. The...

Rather than continue in the "Got My Book Today..." thread, I'm starting this one. Not sure what the final manifestation of the Boombox Creators project will be, but the important thing is to start gathering the raw data (interviews, photographs, emphemera) while we still can. To this end, I...
