What came in this box?

Wow! This one just ended on e-bay. What was the contents of this box? Is this box in that good of condition to get this sort of bid? Is it really a rare set? Enquiring minds want to know.

PAUL,  Maybe one of those Lion Masks?  They don't want to see it?

$331 isn't outrageous for an empty set box. I've seen them go for much higher.

Cool looking box and set! I've seen some boxes for old Matchbox, Dinky and Corgi go for nearly that much. I've got a box from an old (50s 60s???) Sears Silvertone guitar. Never seen a shipping box before. I wonder what it is worth.
