Find the Lady Cubes. Los Angeles, F.G. Thayer & Co., ca. 1930. A mechanical version of the famous Three Card Monte. The operator places three wooden blocks, each with a different card pasted on it, into a wooden tube with three doors. No matter how closely the spectators pay attention, they can never locate the cube bearing the Queen of Spades. Gimmicked tube stands 11" high. Light wear to finish, but overall good condition. Uncommon.
