Cords of Cairo. New Haven: Petrie & Lewis (P&L), ca. 1935. Cords running through wooden pillars act in sympathy; when one is pulled, the other retracts, and vice versa - even after a visible cord connecting the two is cut. With cloth-covered stand and two sets of pillars. Pillar length 13". Chipping to paint, wear and toning to fabric. Uncommon; P&L was best-known for its metal products, though it did make a limited number of items in wood, including this prop. See also lot 139.
