Another Humanatone box

Here is another Humanatone old box. The logo and typo correspond to the trade-mark that was renewed by James John Stivers on April 18, 1905 (45056, reg. Aug. 1, 1905) : a lion rampant, grabbing a tuplet of semiquavers, like playing an harp (check this post for more details).



The 2 other boxes we know and which were shown here, were the ones of what I assume to be a "Style 30" model for the oldest one, and of a "Style O." for the red one. This one was the case of a "STYLE No.20".

How many "styles" were issued? Which were they and to what did they correspond ?

The nose flute that was in the "lion box" still shows its beautiful tin coat and is of the "type A", the oldest one with the rounded air duct cover, and the rectangular flaps.
