It has a box but the lid has separated. Just rare enough to have the box restored. I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing off everyone is a piece of cake.

EDIT: I reserved the positions in Photoshop and, yes, the 3D illusion works that way. If they were printed in this order originally, they had it backward.

Really cool to see these though I had to step back about four feet from the computer to get the images to converge. You've got a treasure.

I bought one of them (with HUNCHBACK pictures) years ago from Bill Nelson. I still have the box and the instruction card with it. It was the forerunner to Viewmasters of the 1960s-70s.

This allowed extras to appear in front of the camera as if they were coming up some steps to reach the set. BTW, the film's cinematographer Charles Van Enger told me they built this set on the back end of Stage 28, the Phantom Stage.
