The contents are housed in a distinctive card picture box with a flip-up colourful backdrop for display. This type of box is prone to damage and in this instance, has a few tears (one of which is repaired) . Clean and vividly-coloured.
Couple of creases to the top surface as well as a very small corner tear. Little (partial) storage puncture n the top surface. A little age/handling wear besides. Both winged card pieces are intact which may be used to prop open the box on display.
