Thanks everybody
I never thought of someone possibly wanting to take it but that's a good point.
I thought that having it labeled as the original cartons could be the best way to impress those around it to be careful. At the very least I want to put: GLASS; Please handle with care. FRAGILE. I wondered about: DANGER. I have had such boxes before but I forgot exactly which words were used. So, I thought I would copy the original. I want to put enough words but not too many. I thought if I go that far I might as well put the logo on as well.
I seem to recall wording like: Color Picture Tube.
I will ask Scotty at Hawkeye which shipper he recommends.
Earlier today I went to Uhaul and bought the box closest to specs and it seemed perfect. I spent a few hours turning it inside out because there was so much Uhaul advertisement there was no room for warnngs and glued extra layer of cardboard in bottom and at sides with the finger holes to lift it with like real tube boxes. I glued a styrofoam chamber in the bottom to distribute weight very well. then I put tube in to continue with rest of production to secure it without scratching that black paint only to find out it is wide enough but not square and two sides come to close to tube so tomorrow I start over!
I am so excited about getting it rebuilt I don't care how much trouble it will be!
