You almost never see the original box anymore. Very nice item!
Is this the 5 inch model or the 3 inch model? The reason I ask is that both of my boxes have "Mystery Clock" on the outside of the box. If it is a 3 incher it is rarer than the 5 inch ones. I have two Cream and Brown in color with the original boxes, both 5 inchers. I do own 1 blue 3 inch one without the box though and a 5 inch gun metal grey one.

Russ,
This is the 5" version and it is the only one I have.
