London: The Old Curiosity Shop, no date. Small quarto-sized.lidded yellow box with paper labels and lists of contents on the top and both inside panels of the box; the box lid is dented inward, but intact.
This boxed collection appears to precede the other located examples of this title, which were found in envelopes with a similar top label, but with uncertain contents. In addition to the top label, the inner panels of the box have two printed labels which describe the 36 historic buildings. Present here are 3 of probably 4 original boards with outlines of the 36 buildings. Here are 9 of the presumed 36 die-cut building facades which match the images on the 4 boards. Also laid in is a large, folding map, "The London of Dickens", which shows the locations of these 36 buildings in London. It also shows sketches of Dickensian characters drawn by "D.W.", who remains so far unidentified.

The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British.
