No-Assistant Nest of Boxes. Los Angeles: F.G. Thayer, ca. 1930. A vanished object appears in the smallest of four locked, nested boxes. Largest box bound with brass, 9 ? x 8 ? x 7 ??. Hand-rubbed mahogany finish. With three keys. An exceptionally fine example of this classic Thayer prop. This version of the venerable Nest of Boxes requires no offstage assistance to load the object which will later be discovered inside the smallest of the four cubes.
