Yes, produced in the Seventies and housed cal 10xx models. Probably a tad late for your soccer timer. Also non-branded versions were produced. Be worth checking out country of manufacture, as many of these were produced in the US
I don't have it quite yet as I am waiting for it to arrive. I will take a look to see if it has any manufacturing marks. Is it a desirable or rare box? I searched high and low to find another and could not find anything similar. I mainly wanted to verify it was original which you have confirmed. Thanks I appreciate the info!
I believe it was produced in large quantities. So in terms of rarity it probably doesn't cut it. Desirable? It's a neat looking ensemble and I suppose in some eyes it could be desirable
