In keeping with the most recent carriers posted by Tommy, I just purchased this unique round corners cardboard carrier and introduction brochure. This appears to be unused although it's missing the metal handle that attaches to it.
What's interesting and rare is the accompanying brochure that's introducing this new carrier. The brochure measures 8.5" x 11 and has 8 pages. Plus there is a question/answer insert pertaining to this carrier.
I'm not sure if this cardboard carrier is a rare prototype or not. There's one like it in Petretti's but not sure if that one has rounded corners. Whatever the case, to me, it's rare to find a cardboard carrier and the original brochure that describes it.
