Buck box age?

[The Fort]

Just wondering if any of you Buck experts might know which of these two box styles are older? Or even what dates that they may have been used? Thanks in advance! -Lance

The bottom box is older. Off the top of my head, I think the top box may be from the early to mid 90s.

The tan boxes were used up through 1989 at which time they were replaced by the black boxes in 1990 which continued through 1996, being replaced by the tan and green boxes in 1997. You will, of course, find some boxes that don't fit this time frame perfectly as excess inventory was being used up.
