Dell O’Dell (Odella Newton). Dell O’Dell’s Sand and Sugar Canisters. New Haven: Petrie & Lewis, ca. 1940. Despite the disparity in size, the magician fills the large vase from the smaller to overflowing. The filling and refilling can be performed twice more. Two chromed canisters, height of larger 10 ¾". Both hallmarked. Bases show considerable wear from repeated professional use, else very good. In the original packing case with the title of the trick stenciled on the lid. A P&L rarity used by America’s foremost female magician of the mid-twentieth century. With a LOA tracing the provenance of the props. See Salon de Magie, pages 312-313.
