Paul Fox Checker Cabinet. Wallace, ID: Jeff Busby, 1990s. Checkers and a glass filled with rice transpose between a decorative cover and three compartments in a wooden cabinet. Lacquered in gold with brass hardware and adornments, with cloth-covered tube. 15 x 7 x 13?. Near fine. An unusual version of the apparatus popularized by Thayer and Okito, this design by W.J. ?Doc? Nixon was further improved by Paul Fox. Unlike other Checker Cabinets, the entire front panel of this model can be lifted upward to show the box empty. Busby produced 12 or fewer Fox cabinets in this size. He also produced, from original parts, a handful of slightly larger cabinets.
