A rectangular cardboard box for a wooden toy car called a personenwagen by the manufacturer Konrad Keller. The box is coloured dark brown on one end, extending around one third of the box. The rest is white with a picture of the car on one end and two sides. On the brown end is a white rocking horse with 'Konrad Keller Holzspielwaren' written over it and 'seit 1864' beneath.
