Peerless Billiard Ball Stand. Los Angeles: F.G. Thayer, ca. 1916. Tall wooden stand with nine cups to accommodate and display wooden billiard balls produced from the bare hands of the magician. Outfitted with four gimmicks to assist in the production of the spheres. Gold gesso over wood with faint crackle-like finish, and black lacquer accents. Overall height of 24”. With solid 1 ¾” diameter balls and matching shell. The earliest example of this classic Thayer prop we have encountered.
