I just found this in a Reverb sales ad. In 1985 the units were shipped with a very nice looking banderole to celebrate three million sold compact pedals. I have never seen one before. I guess the "Free Gift Inside" was the badge in the picture below.

I just did a picture search for "Thanks to the world" and "BOSS" and some of these badges popped up. Some of them for sale.
Do you have pictures from the other sides of the banderole that you can share with us?

A side notice:
The text "Wir möchten der ganzen Welt danken" is perfect and elegant German. That has not often been the case in the '80s!
