Billiard Ball Holdout Device. Circa 1920. Heavy brass gimmick worn under the coat sleeve with attachments to secure a billiard ball and spirit it up and down the magician's sleeve. With a second thief for cigarettes or pencils. Extended length approximately 12". From the Circus Museum of Sarasota collection, with a numbered hanging tag attached. Exceptionally fine craftsmanship, and the first holdout in this design we have encountered.
