Plumes to Bon Bons. Circa 1880. Nickel-plated brass tube with endcaps. Two feather plumes in red and white are inserted into the otherwise empty tube, which is capped. The magician gives one final look at the plumes but when he reopens the tube, out of the interior come wrapped candies or bon bons. Extremely fine construction with six external bands, original plumes, and gimmick. Length 14 5/8".
