Cupid?s Doves. Los Angeles: F.G. Thayer, 1930s. a painted wooden cage is shown empty by lifting its lid and lowering all four side walls. The box is reconstructed and then, visibly, four or five live doves appear inside. Combination of black art and clever spring-loaded hidden load chamber. Magnificent Thayer stenciled paint design in black, red, and gold. 17". A few chips and minor wear, but very good overall. Scarce.
