Ringing Alarm Clock Tray. Bridgeport Connecticut, Sherms Inc., ca. 1940. Specially built tray conceals six ringing devices, which cause faux clocks to appear real when produced from the magicians hat and set on the tray. Likely meant to be mounted on a table base. 29 ½ x 6”. Uncommon. Good. Al Flosso used a similar device in the concluding moments of his famous Miser’s Dream routine.
