In recent months I have been lucky enough to acquire two very tough type E boxes - two I thought I'd never get for sensible money. Funny how it isn't always the case - both of these were very affordable, although likely the condition of box and model #34 probably put some off. Still, I have never seen another, and why wait around when one comes up and is cheap? After all, the old saying surely applies: condition only matters if you already have one:

The Pickfords box came with a model with the correct late casting with step to the rear:
