Watch Mortar. Circa 1910. Handsome turned wooden mortar and pestle allows the magician to apparently destroy a borrowed pocket watch, but instead switches the timepiece for dummy parts and pieces. The restored watch reappears unharmed in another location. Pestle 5 ?? high, mouth 3 ?? diameter. Very good.
