Raymond, Maurice (Morris Raymond Saunders). Germain Water Jars. Circa 1909. Handsome, large, and heavy spun copper jars. Each jar is shown empty, but a moment later, is filled to the brim with differently-colored shades of liquid. Eleven jars in all, each 6 " high. A sturdy and professional set. From the collection of The Great Raymond. Germain only authorized the firm Martinka & Co. to manufacture his famous Water Jar Trick, but many magic companies produced their own versions. The fabricator of this set is unknown, but it is of a much higher grade of workmanship than the nickel-plated versions typically encountered.
