Giant Watch Mortar. Circa 1900. Oversized wooden mortar and pestle into which a borrowed watch is dropped and apparently ground to bits, though later in the performance the restored timepiece is discovered - entirely unharmed - in any one of a number of locations. A very large example; diameter 6", height 8?. Includes dummy watch parts.
