Spirit Cabinet Illusion. Los Angeles: F.G. Thayer, ca. 1935. Low cabinet is shown empty, yet inanimate objects move about inside as if controlled by ghostly figures. Tambourines ring and guitars play, knots untie themselves, and objects are produced or vanish. As a finale, a living lady appears inside. Classic Thayer gold and red stenciling. Base 48 x 28?. Disassembles partially for packing.
