Snake Basket. London: Jack Hughes, 1960s. An ersatz snake rises from the wicker basket, shooting ping pong balls, bits of sod, and other items out of the basket before finally finding a chosen card from the pack that was dropped inside. Includes various ping pong balls in red, white, and blue, ?baby rattler? snake gag, miniature spring snake, and fake chunk of sod. With instructions. Snake a bit unstable and showing wear on head, but good overall. Uncommon, especially with all ancillary props for the complete routine.
