Very few vintage cards, of types that were produced only as portions of box-panels, have survived intact to the present day. That's especially true for the rare items--like the one offered here--that were minimally distributed to begin with, and which acted as just one design element of a beautifully styled "Treasure Chest" toy. The card component of this eye-catching piece measures about 2-1/2" x 2-3/4", occupying only a fraction of the assembled box's nearly 3-3/4" x 2-1/2" surface dimensions.
The card shows a degree of surface loss, and the perforations to its right are largely popped but still intact. Nicely preserved with attached flaps, the box projects about EX overall presentation quality.
