Thayer-Made Magigals Gavel. 1940s. Undersized turned wooden gavel hand-made and turned by Floyd Thayer for the Pasadena chapter of the Magigals. 7 1/8” long. Light rubbing, else very good. One of fewer than six known. The Magigals organization was founded at Brookledge (the Thayer Studio) in 1939 to promote interest in magic among women in southern California. Floyd Thayer turned gavels for members of the Pasadena chapter. Chapters were eventually founded in other cities, and the organization became known as Magigals International.
