Birdcage Production Canister. Circa 1910. An empty canister is filled, then the lid is closed. When reopened, two gleaming brass bird cages are produced from within. Attractively hand painted with a Japanese motif. 13” high. Minor paint chipping. A sliding outer sleeve helps conceal the method; this feature is not present in most other versions of this effect.
