Morrison Pill Box. Maker unknown, ca. 1900. Expertly turned maple vase allows the magician to remove a ball from its interior, vanish the ball and have it return — apparently solid — from the vase. Ball and shell finished in a style approximating Thayer's French polish. One small nick near contact point of lower shell, otherwise fine condition.
