Sucker Subway. Colon, MI: Abbott's Magic Novelty Co., 1940s. A combination Wonder Blocks/Die Box routine with three checkers. They rearrange their order in the flat wooden tube, then the red checker vanishes from the box after comedy by-play. To finish, the missing red checker reappears between the other two in the ?subway" tube. Length of tube 16". Finish worn. With a handwritten note stating that this prop was used by the originator, Jimmy Trimble. A RARE prop from Abbott's heyday.
