Tissue Box Availability for the 1962 and later box

[avantilover]

Hi All,

I have the AC 3154 box and was wondering whether tissues are still produced in this size?

I seem to recall previous discussion re: Kleenex size "X" but am not sure.

Probably best to have the unit as a display piece in any case, but should anyone know could you please advise accordingly.

Many thanks

Thx Leo much appreciated.

You're welcome. I had to do a search myself, as I have the dispenser with the original box, unopened, and I wasn't sure I wanted to open the box if I could easily find a substitute.

I don't think the original size box is available here in OZ, I'll install the box in my car when it arrives back from repairs and modifications and keep it as a display unit.

Perhaps Matthew Burnette could provide details on the size etc. of the box he pictured in his message and maybe we could inquire from Kimberly-Clark whether they still make that size.

I recall someone saying the tissues placed in rooms in hospitals were close.

That would be the route I might take. That or, get a regular box that fits lengthwise, at least, and cut down the top to fit inside the container.

i'm curious if the "post-'62" tissue boxes are the same size as the one in my '51.

the dimensions of the tissue box that would fit inside should be close to 10" wide, 4 1/2" deep and 2" tall - give or take a 1/4" or so. this is the only pic i have that shows the tissue box:

That's identical with mine, will have to look at cleaning supply stores, though I think it's fine as a display (not used) item.

The one that I had is the one now in Corvanti's '51 coupe.

I never liked the tissue box in that car. Darn thing rattled too much.

[avantilover]

Thanks Matt, The later version is attached to the floor via Velcro, should be quiet (smile).

tissues are the same as hotel dispenser-type...

[avantilover]

Thx, will look around.

The hotels I stay at don't have the right size box. I travel with a drawing and tape measure & have not found one yet. The new smaller boxes will fit & you can't tell it is not correct until you swing it open. A small block of wood will keep the smaller box from sliding around. The box in mine measurers 2x10x4.75 and was in my 1953 coupe when I bought it in 1963.

[avantilover]

The best thing to do I feel is keep the unopened original box in the unit and have a modern box on the rear seat. Will have to inquire at Kimberly-Clark's local office and see what they say.

Many thanks all.
