Summary
A red, card box with a coloured picture on the lid. The picture shows a drawing of an entrance to a double tunnel with the heading 'THE THAMES TUNNEL'. There are people standing around and walking along the railed walkway above the entrance. Cut in the lid are three holes, a large one at the top and two smaller ones in the arches. Inside the lid are fixed two strips of paper, one each side, which are folded into a concertina. Fixed between them are 4 cut-a-way, coloured pictures of a double tunnel going under water. A 5th picture is pasted to the base. The figures on each picture are slightly different so that when you lift the lid and look through the two holes you see an extent picture of the tunnel.
