Wood boxes for Pre-1910 Monarch's are rare and should contain a see-thru hardware model lure.  The top of the box is imprinted rather than having a paper label.

A c. 1907-1912 Paper label Neverfail wood box from the Enterprise Manufacturing Company, which preceded Pflueger and Four Brothers.

This is the "Target" or "Medallion" version cardboard box label.  The box should be maroon.  Note the 's and " "' used in the type. Used in the 1911 to 1916 era.
A second variation of the "Medallion" box.   Note the lack of " " around NEVERFAIL. 
This is a later version of the Neverfail maroon box paper label.  Note the addition of the words "Under Water" and there is no 's. 
The most common Four Brothers label. 
Second version of the Four Brothers label, but from the same era.

Less common "Red Bull Dog" Monarch box label.  Note the addition of the hyphenated name. This is the earlier box of the two.
A "Red Bull Dog" Monarch cardboard box paper label.  This is the more common type.   Used in the 1914-1924 range.
