Ticking Watch Box. Vienna: R. Klingl, ca. 1900. A borrowed watch is placed into a small mahogany box, lined with felt and with a gilt-framed mirror in its lid. The box is locked and covered it with a handkerchief. As the performance continues the box may be left on a table in plain sight, the watch heard ticking all the while, but when reopened the timepiece has vanished. 4 x 3 x 2”. Ticking mechanism restored. With the two keys and small tool issued by Klingl. Hallmarked. With manufacturer’s original paper-covered and labeled storage box.
