Sucker Cigarette Box. Los Angels: F.G. Thayer, ca. 1940. Cigarette pack vanishes from a hardwood box after comedic ?by-play,? a la the Die Box trick. Deluxe model. 6 ? x 1 ? x 4?. Very good. This model, different than most versions made by Thayer and its contemporaries, requires no shell cigarette pack, and has a built-in trap door for the initial ?getaway.?
