Salon de Magie: The Klosterman Collection Part I

Herrmann, Alexander. Herrmann’s Die Box. Circa 1885. Handsome hardwood box from which a solid die vanishes, only to reappear elsewhere, perhaps in a borrowed hat previously shown empty. Natural-finish doors with ebonized edges. 2 ?" die. Lacks shell. Box contains sliding shell-like carriage. Considerably scratched and worn, but very good overall. 4 ? x 8 ½ x 4 ½". With an LOA from Clint Reidel describing the history of the Die Box. Owned and used by Alexander Herrmann. Bearing the Circus Museum of Sarasota mark, CMS 247. See Salon de Magie, page 154.
