The box has 2 parts. Both are covered what I'd best describe as a dark maroon faux leather contact paper. . . . There was no LWB or title card or anything that came with it. I don't know if there was at one time.
I have the same deck/box - with cards pasted on the front and back - The Fool and the High Priestess. There are also two blank cards - but the former owner pasted a prayer and an invocation over them:
"I am surrounded by the white light of Tiphareth.
The fire is my friend and it will destroy all evil.
It is above me. It is around me. It is beneath me. It is all over me.
Though ten thousand come upon me they shall stumble and fall.
For I am invisible. I am invulnerable.
I am invincable to everything that is not like Tiphareth.
Amen Amen Amen.

"Invocation:
All hail Thee Thoth Hermes thrice greatest.
All hail Thee Prince of Men.
All hail Thee who standeth upon the head of Typhon.
Guide my hand that I may know.
Scribe of Gods - Lord of Devine[sic] Books,
I wish to know that I may serve.
All hail Thee Thoth Hermes."
I also have the same edition of the PKT book as does Cerulean and another edition with B&W images that adds:
"First Printing May 1960
Second Printing April 1962
Third Printing January 1966"
