Frakson's Original Money Catching Trick. [Coin Pail]. Chicago: Chicago Magic Company, ca. 1929. Attractive nickel plated champagne bucket outfitted with three gimmicks allowing the performer to produce an apparently endless quantity of half dollars from midair. Five droppers are concealed in the base, and spring loaded Kellar-type droppers are hidden in each handle. According to Chicago Magic Company advertising, this pail was modeled after the very same prop used by Jose Frakson on the Keith circuit. Height 7 ?". Lacking a small metal lip on the underside of the pail. RARE.
