Germain Water Jars. Circa 1905. Six nickel plated vessels are shown empty by lowering one in to the other repeatedly. Even so, the magician then produces large quantities of water from each jar in turn, filling a tub with the liquid as it is produced. Finely spun set of eleven jars (only six are visible during the performance). With instructions. Mouth diameter 4 3/4", height 5". A finely spun set with only minor cosmetic wear. Unusual in this size.
