The individual boxes are tiny, measuring approximately 2 5/8" x 1 3/4" x 1". Case length is 5 3/4". In each box of cards is a set of instructions on how to play the individual game. On the bottom of each instruction sheet is "1946 Russell Mfg. Co." On the back of each box of cards is "Made in U.S.A., Russell Mfg. Company, Leicester, Mass."
