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.
