Neyhart Rising Cards. Los Angeles: A.P. Neyhart, ca. 1940. Complicated mechanical Bakelite card houlette and custom-manufactured deck of Bee-back playing cards. Wear to gimmicked rubber rollers as usually encountered, otherwise very good condition. Uncommon. With this ingenious device, any card named by a spectator rises from the pack. Neyhart manufactured limited quantities of this device and during the Great Depression, during which it retailed for the princely sum of $37.50. This item is being offered by Bob Swadling from his personal collection. All proceeds from the sale of this lot, including buyer?s premiums, will be directed to a fund set up in benefit of Sebastian Midtvaage for the costs of his cancer treatment and healthcare.
