Dear NMB translators,

 

I have to admit that the task is almost impossible to translate the outside sticker of this box due to old age. The inside sticker might be either to decypher.  

Thank you for your help.

Hi! The outside sticker is way out of my league, but the inside one says 日本江戸拵 ("Japan Edo Koshirae") at the top, read from right to left. (perhaps?) ながさきや (Nagasaki Ya, probably meaning a shop named Nagasaki) at the bottom, also read from right to left. Right to the bird (a crane?) in the middle looks like 横浜 (Yokohama, a place near Tokyo/Edo), not sure what's on the left.

 

Wait, am I seeing things now or does the outside sticker vaguely say 安綱 (Yasutsuna) on the top-right?
