Most sets contain (12) different subjects or boxes and generally they have some narrative and number printed on the back of the card or inside of the box.
The R722-4 group covers the boxes for Mr. Magic. The set pictures a magician doing a number of different tricks at a table. The cards on the boxes are ringed around the outside by curtains and the boxses are printed mostly in red, yellow and orange colors with black highlights.
This lot is for a single complete R722-4 Mr. Magic box for subject #9 The multiplying coins. The box has been flattened and is in mostly nice condition with the exception of a white stain which appears to be glue on one of the end flaps. Great 1930's/1940's gum and candy box.
