The R722 classification has been expanded to include (31) sets according to non-sport.com. The classification covers candy boxes with perforated cards meant to be punched out and collected into sets. Most are or were issued by the Novel or Leader Novelty companies of New York. Most sets contain (12) different subjects or boxes and generally they have some narrative and number printed on the back of the card or inside of the box.
The R722-10 group covers the boxes for King Arthur's Knights. The boxes picture King Arthur and the cards are subjects of different responsiblities and things a knight would do in their daily life. The boxes are printed with yellow, orange and red coloring with black highlights.
This lot is for a single complete box from the R722-10 Novel Candy King Arthur's Knights set. The subject is #6 King Arthur and the Sword. This box is the key box in the set. Although many, if not most, of the Novel box sets have (12) subjects, the highest number seen in this set is #6, so it could be complete at (6) subjects. The box is complete with all flaps and is in GVG to VG condition. The biggest issues with this box is light soiling and some light creasing. The colors are still vivid and this box represents and unparalleled opportunity to pick up a very tough card in its original, unpunched form.
