Oh, there have been quite a number of Arcons for sure. But....VERY FEW in that early packaging style, though (and THAT is what caught my eye). No, a 'standard', more recent Arcon (early 70s onward) I would not have been too saddened to see 'opened only to make photos'. But a kit (any kit) in the earlier Centuri packaging like this one are much rarer and come up much less often; MUCH, MUCH less.

But yeah, their 'line' is probably just that (as you suggest): a line. And that actually makes me feel a bit better to think that they DIDN'T open it 'just to take pics'; that it (probably) in fact, was already opened when they found it.

Then again, people do some pretty surprising (and studip) things sometimes....
