I bought a job lot of sun bleached stuff from a gamnestore window display in Yazoo or some such place. and if a lamp sat on a box for 30 years (which the indentations indicate may be the case), then where are the areas that the sunlight could not reach on account of the object casting a shadow? One possible exception could be a snowglobe?

Until the seller gets it validated and ceases with the 'I spoke to a friend who told me what I wanted to hear' BS, followed by 'I'm no expert so don't blame me if I'm lying' crap, I'd say this is a damaged box with books in reasonabley fine condition. I don't see any of the real money players throwing $10K at this let alone fifteen without some sort of guarantee and a trusted third party getting eyeballs and a good camera on this.

Still, could be interesting if he's right. But he needs to get of his backside for his $15K and prove it rather than try blowing sunshine up people's asses.

I think you guys are overthinking this. It was sitting in an attic with something round on top of it that kept that area clean. 30 years of sitting in a hot and dusty place. This is not a prototype of anything except where not to store your white box.
