  Mfg. Unknown Circa: Late 1800's - Early 1900's One of our museums most unusual and prized possessions. This mechanical card has a unique way of showing two photos. When the side tab on this card is pulled the photograph "rolls" and the image changes from a little boy in his birthday suit from the back to the little boy in his birthday suit from the front. |
