“Spinning out of the Nick Carter Detective Magazine, this extremely rare Nick Carter Fingerprint Set contains “official equipment” for keeping fingerprint records, enabling any fan to become a detective in their own right. The box is in Good condition, with some handling wear. This set is incomplete, containing most contents, but missing the “Nick Carter Club” badge. Includes white and black fingerprint powder, white and black fingerprint paper, an instructional booklet, a magnifying glass, and a colored pencil. Some fingerprint papers and powders are used, with fingerprints and chalk and pencil markings straight out of the 1930s!”
