Morison Pill Box. German, 1920s. A ball is removed from a vase, vanishes, and reappears inside. Turned wood, internal mechanism. 6? tall. Original box, near fine condition. This model of the venerable Morison Pill Box was produced in large numbers, most likely by Quhel or Baudenbacher, before the second world war. Typically encountered in fair to poor condition, this is the finest example we have handled.
