Coffee & Milk Pitcher. Boston: C. Milton Chase, ca. 1890. Faux porcelain pitcher which allows the magician to pour its contents out entirely, yet it refills time and time again. With a paper tag affixed to one panel bearing the text, ?C.M. Chase?s Milk-Coffee Pitcher.? Height 5?. Paint chipped. This was one of several historical relics displayed at Phil Thomas?s Yogi Magic Mart in Baltimore. After the shop burned, the pitcher, along with other items, were rescued from the rubble and sold to collectors. Thomas himself had an enviable collection of magic posters, props, and ephemera.
