Mechanical Stage-Size Billiard Ball Stand.Berlin: Conradi, 1907. Elaborate nickel-plated stand with “T”-shaped crossbar assists the magician in the production of a seemingly endless quantity of billiard balls from his apparently empty hands. Cup at center of upper cluster built to accommodate a shell. Lower cups gimmicked to vanish balls one by one via concealed wind-up motor. Upper cluster may be removed from the stand and converted into a tabletop display stand by affixing it to a separate short base (included). Height 63". Includes seven solid balls. Two shells in need of minor repair, else very good. The largest and most elaborate billiard ball stand we have offered.
