Enchanted Arabian Mirror. Cincinnati: John Snyder, ca. 1939. A sheet of glass with a hole in its center is tied with ribbon into a wooden frame representing a jail cell. The glass penetrates the ribbon as it is pulled from the frame. With original packing case. Base 14 x 15?. Instructions. Uncommon. Reminiscent of the Thief of Bagdad, the signature trick of David Bamberg (Fu Manchu).
