Imitation candle which, when placed atop the head of an audience volunteer, shoots water from the midst of the burning flame at its apex. The candlestick with a crackled brass finish. Good condition. Rare. Manufactured during the short period in which Carl and Will Brema worked for Abbott?s in the company?s Michigan factories, and advertised just once, in its Supplementary Catalog #5.
