Double Cut and Color Change Ribbon Restoration. Pittsburgh: R. Schlunegger, ca. 1930. Spectator chooses a red or blue ribbon, which marked, and then threaded through the cabinet. The center is cut from the ribbon, and moments later from the second piece; the ribbon in the cabinet is restored with the odd-colored strip. This is then cut away, and the ribbon is restored to its original state and may be removed from the cabinet for examination. Unusual routine and mechanically complex device; one of only 12 units manufactured. Cabinet measures 13 x 3 ? x 8". With instructions. Minor paint wear. RARE.
