Please see scans and assess. seems to have all the correct panels for the images but the glue to hold them to the tabs has eroded so they no longer stay in the correct places when the tabs are moved, I could have glued but am not positive of how they are supposed to work and did not want to cause damage. would benefit from professional restoration, the last image works as designed. see video of movement. all pages scanned

I have been a collector of Raphael Tuck cards, and ephemera on eBay for almost 20 years and am now selling items that I no longer need. I also manage the reference collection for the TuckDB and TuckDBephemera listing websites. Many thanks for looking, Alison
