I did the basic searches but these are really the only two useful pictures I found. Does anyone know where I can look for ansco memo advertisements? price catalogue's? or anywhere to find images of the box designs?

I stored all the Anscochrome boxes in the trash. I have to go back and take a look.
Old photography magazines can be a good source for old ads.

That wasn't a very wise thing to say. You just closed doors for yourself.
I did not say what happened to the film.

you should really be more respectful, you really hurt my feelings. I know everybody here is an Eastman lapdog, but Ansco will forever be in my heart as the company that made American photography.

Yes!!
Its becoming impossible to even find Ansco film on Ebay anymore, and I dont have the largest collection of it. Some things I am missing include Ansco 1950's era Hypan, Postwar Ansco color old (Red and yellow? does not have New on the box). but honestly, im interested even in film I have, because most of my examples are beat up.
Ansco 550 T was one of my films of choice for available light night photography. I used the film and threw out the boxes. Read what I post, not what you would like to read into it. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Its okay, I was being a little bit dramatic. You did give me the drive to make it myself though. Now I dont care if they get thrown in the trash, its just color ink and cardstock now.
When you print some from the 1960's I would like a reproduction box.

As someone who was literally fed, clothed, educated and sheltered for all my formative years due to (Canadian) Kodak, I can assure you that I bear no ill will to Ansco
.I will note, however, that having for a while sold a lot of GAF film to customers, I must mention that that product was not its best effort!

They can be printed on any color printer. I have a lot that are ready to print right here!

To be fair, GAF was the rotting corpse of the skeletal remains of what was Ansco.
Im trying to put together a visual timeline of the, tens of iterations that this company had, but my personal favorite was the "Golden Era" when the Ansco Memo was released in 1926/7 and the incorporation as "Ansco Photoproducts" was the last true Ansco before they got swallowed by IG Farben in 1928.
After this, the company was owned by the germans, and then in 1944/5 was taken back by the US government,
and THIS era of Ansco is what most people are familiar with. 1950-1970
which was later bought out by General Aniline 1973-1988ish?
And then a Chinese holding company... 1990's
They even made it to the Digital camera market... 2000
This is really the end though.
The history before is very complex, dating back to Edward Anthony. I am still researching this though, its much harder to find information on the 1842 era supplies. I wish somebody more knowledgeable would help, because I really want to reproduce the labels on these extremely rare bottles.
P.S I really love the packaging design of the "Photoproducts-Speedex" Era!
Scoville was founded in the US 1802 to make brass buttons, British had a strangle hold on the button business. When Daguerrotypes came along Scoville, who also made tokens etc got involved.
Anthony and Scoville eventually became AnSco.
History is online.
Scoville is still making fasteners.

This is not packaging but I thought it might be of interest.

I wonder if they are the reason why ansco cases have this weird button...!
I think this case might be rarer than the Ansco Memo itself! the button on this black leather ansco memo case is a pyramid, which is interesting since that is a call back to the 1910 Ansco company logo.

I still need these ones:

there is also memo copy film too, but that was technically just a sticker.
