Billiard Ball Box. Los Angeles, F.G. Thayer, ca. 1925. A red billiard ball, banded with gold, vanishes from the four-door cabinet and appears elsewhere. Gimmick for stealing ball from cabinet and ?double door? entirely different from the traditional die box. Small model; 6 x 3 x 3?. Finished in black with gold stenciled design to upper doors and sides, and hand painted design to front doors (possibly added later). Hallmarked twice by Thayer. Finish worn, minor chipping. Uncommon. Originally part of the fabled collection of Dr. Hooker, and later owned by Charles Larson. This box is the smallest version from Thayer?s shop we have encountered, and is accompanied by Larson?s notes regarding its working and history.
