Took quite a while, but finally got some of the more bakelite boxes in, some being the desirable LARGE type

These are Soviet Russian "Bakelite" Geiger Counter boxes. Empty obviously (since the box is the real cool part) What you see is what I have. Mag is there for size reference only. Basically new old stock condition with shipping and storage wear (scratches- mostly on bottoms, edges, and front latches), NO cracks or big dents (unless otherwise specified), maybe a tiny few black "oxidation" spots on the metal hardware. Nothing that effects any kind of function. May have some tape residue, paint, or other residue on the outsides (usually the bottom - see pics) Still have some soft foam material inside one sometimes some plastic, yours to remove too if you'd like. Some also have an old label, some sticker or tape residue, or an itty bit of paint or clear resin on them, once again easy to remove with some elbow grease.

The Larges also still have the test tube trays glued in, they can get removed/pried out with some simple hand tools. Might take a little bit of work to get the tray out in one piece if you want to keep that, it's some pretty strong glue they used.

Wasn't able to take the best pics since it was freezing out and rapidly losing light and my camera died due to the cold halfway through. The boxes look darker in the pictures than they actually are, they are brighter and lighter orange/red in person.
