Item Description
This is an exceedingly clever premium from Wheaties, 1938. The 4" long original mailing box pictures "Jack Armstrong" at a radio microphone. 3.75" long in dark red tin with black accents. Top center has a window to display an interior silver metal pointer that lines up with a series of answers printed on the tin above the window opening. The user poses a question and then places a thumb over an area on the side of the box which has small openings. Heat causes a thin cellophane strip on the interior to then curl thus moving the finely balanced pointer. It takes a few seconds for the heat to build up but the needle will move and does line up with the printed answers ranging from "So What!" and "Yes" at the far left and then going in small increments that can be viewed with the arrow pointing at various "Answers" from "Maybe" to "Try Again" to "No" to "Check!" to the final "Wow!" answer at the far upper right. Egyptian accents and scarab holding question mark on lid. Lt. aging/wear. A few lt. scratches on lid seen in reflected light, paint nick on bottom corner. Rare premium to find especially in working condition. Displays VF.
