T. Nelson Downs style Coin Ladder. Circa 1915. At the magician?s command coins placed in the hat resting on the top of the ladder penetrate the crown and cascade down the front, bouncing back and forth between the chromed pegs on its face, falling into a glass below. 33? high. Top and plunger restored; good working condition. Patterned after the ladder used by T. Nelson Downs and described in his 1909 classic, The Art of Magic.
