Miniature Passe-Passe Bottles. Vienna: Charly Eperny, 1964. Finely handmade version of the classic stage trick in which a bottle and a glass transpose from beneath one tube to another. This model expertly hand crafted from shotgun shell casings hand-painted and decorated with pilsner beer labels, and using two miniature metal bottles and miniature beer steins. Height of tubes 2 ?". With a vintage beer mat and miniature magic wand. Includes a handwritten note of provenance from Dr. Dawes. An attractive and unusual miniature effect.
