semery74 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Notice the Claro stamp. I wonder if this was UK distributor or factory direct option. Has anyone seen a wrapper shade stamp on Post Rev boxes?

Jimmy2 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Claro stamp was on alot of boxes before Castro took over and i think Claro was a fav of the American market back in the day.
