Don't take it out, keep it like it is. Here at train shows these cars have shown up alot. This is good. I never seen this blisted pack before. I thought AHM was the Crown Company. AHM must have gotten the car line latter. Thanks for the pict.

I have never seen one like that before, but that's not saying much I did a quick search on ebay, and couldn't find one. Now that's saying something! You may have something pretty valuable there.

I thought Crown was bought by Athearn or it became Athearn. Nice find! It won't make you rich but I wouldn't open it.
