Rarebit Pan. Westchester: Joseph Burgun, ca. 1940. A mixture of flour, water, sugar, and eggs is dropped into the pan, which is held over an open flame. Amazingly, it is changed into a perfectly baked cake or even a live rabbit. Finely spun from nickel-plated brass with a wooden handle. Height 9”. One of perhaps three manufactured. See Salon de Magie, page 320. Burgun constructed many props for Dell O’Dell (see following lots) including a similar pan used for her routine of baking cookies in a borrowed hat.
