Miniature Mora Chinese Sticks. Boston: Louis McCord (?Silent" Mora), 1949. The cords running through the wooden stick react in sympathy to each other. When one is pulled the other retracts and vice-versa. Hand-painted with faux Chinese characters and Length 3 ?". Each stick SIGNED and dated by Mora on the flat side. Near fine. After his retirement, Mora lived in a Boston rest home. It was from here that he crafted several magic props by hand including his well-regarded Chinese Sticks. Many of those sets were inscribed and signed to the purchasers and became treasured possessions; as such, several sets have survived. This is the first miniature set we have encountered.
