Locking Divination Boxes. Hamburg: Carl Willmann, 1910s. Four numbered blocks are locked in a small hardwood box, which is, in turn, locked in a larger hardwood box. Even so, the mentalist instantly knows the order of the blocks. Fine inlaid hardwood boxes with original brass hardware, locks, and key. Larger box 7 ¼ x 3 ¼ x 2”.A relatively common prop as made by other manufacturers; this early example is finely made and finished, and is scarce in this form.
