Confusion in the Ark. Los Angeles: F.G. Thayer, ca. 1930. Charles Waller?s Old Testament-inspired version of the Checker cabinet effect, in which a large figure of Noah, a small figure of his son Japheth, and a dove magically transpose locations between the wooden ark and two highly decorated metal tubes. Includes Ark, two wooden doves, two Japheth figures, Noah figure, and two metal tubes. With instructions. Well-preserved paint; very good condition overall. A genuine Thayer rarity.
