    I found this yesterday at a thrift store - it has a real metal Boeing tag and matching stenciled(?) numbers on top & front of the box; is this from Boeing or is it homemade?
    Thanks in advance for any information!

    Official Boeing box, but with nothing inside I can't imagine it's worth much.

    Definitely Boeing logo. I worked for one of their companies many years ago.

    My daughter and son in law work for boeing . they probably can't tell you any more that what the part number gave you. I will ask.

    Thank you! - Any idea of age; they don't still use wood crates to transport or store jet parts do they?

    The 767 was introduced in 1982 - is there a reason you doubt the part manufacture date of '11/95'?

    Who is doubting date? I asked if box was real & if it was old because I figured there were stronger, lighter & cheaper ways to ship/store parts

    Guess it was when you asked, "Any idea of age...?" Aircraft parts are usually of substantial weight, and for obvious reasons, damage should be avoided:
