Maybe they rented it from Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space. 
Hey, I never noticed that before....

- Start date
That ship is reminiscent of The Jetsons and Gazoo on The Flintstones, both of which pre-date Star Trek. It's in keeping with the Googie style that came in after art deco.
Maybe some S. California space nut built it, went broke, and sold it to a prop rental house.
Maybe it was built for the final season of My Favorite Martian, like for a guest alien, and that show got canceled before the prop could be used.
Fox could have built it for Lost in Space and it went unused, like if a script got canceled. The plexiglass dome is similar to the Astrogator bubble on Lost in Space. The two pieces might have come from the same maker. And we know Fox sold or rented out the Jupiter 2 freezing tubes, because they showed up on Star Trek once:

It does have the look of something that might have appeared in a 1950s "Red Scare" allegory space invasion flick. I can easily imagine it used in something like "Beware the Space Cyclawps!" (Yes, that the intended spelling.)
BTW, the Lazarus craft depicted here is a 3D model by the moderator of the fan art sub-forum, Ptrope. The deep sea diver inspired suit is from Sixus1, the Beholder (minus eyestalks) by Dodger and the claws extracted from an "AntFarm" monster crab item.

That image is really convincing - when will it be in the new edition of These Are The Voyages?
Thanks! I purposely staged it to look like a low budget studio bound shot and then added "noise" and greyscaled it in post to (hopefully) look like something from the 50s.
You can get Ptropes model here...

Though intended for Poser and/or DAZ Studio, her supplies a base .OBJ file that can be imported into a variety of 5D applications.

A cat skin is the same color as the fur that covers them, so if you were to "shave the kitty" the cat's skin would be that coloring.
I think the idea was that if it could happen to fur it could conceivably happen to skin.
Our skin coloration is believed to be an assist in the Vitamin D production chain; less pigmentation where the sun is low, to boost the D; more where the strong, hi sun would make toxic levels of D in us. Or so I remember.
I wonder if there's an evokutionary reason on Bele's planet; or a very precise mutation. (I know, it's art and metaphor, like the Sneeches, but still it's fun to hypothesize in-universe. After all, there's more than one way to shave a ... nevermind

In Spock's Brain when McCoy activates the life support functions, the 'Brain' indicator on his medical display moves up. If Spock's skull noodles are missing, then why does this occur?

Same studio - Screen Gems (Columbia)
Wink of an Eye is one of 8-some-odd TOS episodes I had on VHS recorded off TV in syndication when I was a kid in the mid 80's, so I have seen it many, many times.
It was on BBC America last night, and I noticed something pretty cool for the first time:
When Kirk is being examined in Sick Bay after the landing party beams back up, he is laying flat on the examination bed. The "buzzing fly" sound effect happens, and Kirk gets up and begins talking to McCoy about how the ship has likely been "invaded." The cool thing I never noticed is that Kirks hair "moves" for a split second like a burst of air had hit it- just as the buzzing noise is happening, as if he has been touched.
Attention to detail on this show...absolutely amazing.

In "Elaan of Troyius," you can see a stage light up in the bridge dome in this scene:

Now you guys made me think of the old TV show "The Lost Saucer" with Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzy
So some OCD Scalosian was bothered by an out-of-place follicle or two? "Sure, we've got plenty of time to take over the ship. Allow me to do your hair."
And you just reminded me of its existence...!

Ah so sorry...

And the saucer was originally built for the Columbia production The Ambushers (1967), the third in the series of four Matt Helm films starring Dean Martin.
