Bird Box. After Martinka & Co., ca. 1880. A chosen card is placed into a wooden box and the lid is closed. When opened, the card has transformed into a live bird and the card is discovered elsewhere. Handsome burled wood with inlaid brass accents to lid (a bit loose) and ebonized look to corners and mirrored lid back. 5 x 3 ? x 5". With key. A fine early example.
