The box lid and bottom for a game called "Radio Questionaire," issued by the Durable Toy & Novelty Corporation, 1928. The lid has a front face with an Art Deco-style cover.

At the top in a black field is the title and copyright date. At the bottom is "FLASHES THE ANSWER / BY WIRELESS / TO THOUSANDS OF QUESTIONS / Enjoyed by Grown-ups as well as Children." Three of the four sides remain, each with the title as appears on the front cover, but two sides having the company name and address. On the reverse of the front face are directions and an offer for new sets of questionaire cards, as well as the company name and address. The artifact is in poor condition with one side missing; notable abrasions; rubbing; brittleness; creases; soiling; stains; tears; and wear throughout.Lexicon
