Bryans Automatic Machine Works Disappearing Disc. Kegworth, England, ca. 1948. Coin-operated machine performs a conjuring trick: Crank the handle and watch as the jam jar moves over the coin, which vanishes and then reappears. A wheel with accompanying text scrolls by as the feat occurs. 21 x 14 x 12?. Original crackle-finish cabinet, nickel-plated corners and front pieces. Lock and key. Working. Modified to use U.S. quarters.
