Item Details

Description

Created by Okito. A box is seen resting on the seat of a solid oak chair. The box is opened and another smaller box is removed. Both boxes are shown empty then a gigantic production of items ensues, including a seemingly endless quantity of silks and livestock of all types, literally filling the stage. Cleverly gimmicked boxes and chair contain all of the items, unknown to the audience. Beautifully crafted by Thayer – circa 1925. (Sold then for a whopping $150! Equivalent to over $2,100 today.) Condition: Very Good. Some wear from age. Extremely rare.
