Red Hot Ball. London: Gamages, ca. 1940s. Precision made brass ball (2” diam.) unscrewing at the center, revealing an inner tube so designed that a mixture of lime powder and acid will cause the ball to mysteriously heat up in the hands of a spectator. With instructions. Minor signs of use; very good.
