Floppy Disk Holder Appraisal

Vintage 3.5-inch Floppy Disk Storage Box with Disks

This item is a vintage storage case containing a collection of approximately 30-40 3.5-inch floppy disks. The case features a beige or off-white plastic base with an integrated smokey-grey tinted transparent flip-top lid, typical of late 1980s to early 1990s computer peripherals. Inside the case are various brands and colors of magnetic media disks, primarily in dark blue, with some white, teal, and red shells visible. The disks are organized using cream-colored plastic tabbed dividers. A prominent disk at the front features a handwritten red-and-white adhesive label titled 'B17 FLYING FORTRES', suggests the collection may contain vintage software, games, or user data. Physical condition shows moderate wear and discoloration indicative of age; the plastic divider tabs show slight yellowing, and there is visible dust and surface residue on the interior of the lid and the disk shutters. The metal sliding shutters on the disks appear mostly intact, though some misalignment is possible given their age. This set represents a piece of early computing history, specifically from the era of personal computers like the Amiga, Atari ST, or early IBM PC clones.
