Morison Pill Box. Lake Forest: John McKinven, ca. 1995. A ball vanishes from the vase, then reappears inside. Finely turned from boxwood. Ball 2? diameter, vase 7? high. Hallmarked. Minor paint wear on lower shell, else very good. An oversized version of the German model of this classic prop made by Carl Quehl and others, and popular in the pre-war era; this model is superior to the original in nearly every way, from the materials used to its size, function, and form.
