1976 |
There
was a company called Reeves International sometime in the 1990's that had
a LOT of stuff made for them by corgi, including batmobile boxes. These are
authentic boxes made by corgi and I am not sure how they differ, if at all.
Reeves international were a US company, they definitely had batmobile boxes
produced, in fact I've seen some on ebay recently and they were listed as
reeves international batmobile boxes, it was a 76-79 edition box I saw, so
there must be a difference if sellers/collectors are able to tell the difference.
They are definitely corgi made though, and were especially produced for Reeves international, to what range the boxes extended I do not know, but my guess would be that they made them with a difference to the originals, so this theoretically could be a Reeves International job.

These boxes (1976 Type A) were purchased in the early 90s at Chicago toy show I was told these are reprinted boxes made a corgi toy wholesaler called Revees !!!

These part (red arrow) are glued on Reeves boxes, not on a Corgi boxes.
Color of the inside card is different
Space between font caracter
is slightly different.
The
Corgi symbol a the bottom of the outside box starts well behind the beginning
of the word "Slasher" on the inner stand. Again, this is different
from the Reeves box.
