Bandbox Records was a small independent record label based in Denver, Colorado and owned by Vicki Morosen which she operated between 1954 and 1972. She had originally purchased a record company called Columbine Records in the early 50's, but Columbia Records thought that the name sounded too close to theirs and requested that she change it, which she reluctantly did.
Bandbox concentrated on Denver's local musicians and many Rockabilly and Hot Rod instrumental discs have become quite collectable today.
