Al C.risafulliIt does appear to me to be some sort of pinhole camera. If you fold up the box and poke a hole in it in the circle, that is.
It would stand to reason in my mind that the box contained film. Perhaps not plausible if they were issued in 1906, though.
But something seems weird about the W555s to me. Up until just a few months ago, I'd never seen one with anything more than just a tiny bit of black edge. Most were cut right down to the picture. I recognized this becuase W555 was a card type I was looking for.
Then, all of a sudden, a few months ago I started seeing them in bunches with four black edges. They seemed to come from out of nowhere. My initial reaction was "Oh, wow, whatever box they were cut from was black." Then my second reaction was "Wow, where did all these W555s come from, and why do they all have four black edges when I'd never seen one like that before?"
Now, here's a full box, from out of nowhere. Nobody ever knew where these cards came from, and now here's a box.
Cool item, though.
