Dave, interesting! I still mentally kick myself for placing an engine-only order with Centuri!  I do still have the cool little shipping boxes they came in. Looks like they could hold about 6 motors. I'll have to see. I still have a couple B14s (booster and upper stage) which by the date on them may have been from that order.
