[JOKE ? GAG]. Magic Windmill or Lung Tester. Ca. 1910. The magician (or wiseass) blows through the mouthpiece and spins the paddles of the miniature windmill, but when the victim tries to do the same a cloud of soot is blown back in his face. A mirror affixed to the reverse of the device allows the sucker to view his blackened face. Laughter ensues. Nickel plated elements with ebonized wooden finish including a slot at the top of the device for a hand-lettered card. Height 8 ?".
