[Magic Set] Oaks Latest Tricks Puzzles, Novelties Sensational Escapes and Illusions. Oshkosh, Wisconsin, ca. 1913. Boxed magic set containing wooden and cardboard props and pranks, including a coin pedestal, die divination, flap card box, snapping matchbox, color changing handkerchief, deck vanisher and much more. Nearly all contents manufactured in Germany. Includes original instructions. 11 x 7 x 2?. Dust soiling to lid; box sturdy and contents clean.
