DIE TRANSPOSITION (WITH PRODUCTION). Holland: Okito [?], ca. 1890. Apparatus consists of two toleware tubes and one short cover, decorated in maroon with Asian and floral decals, two shell dies (one with unusual internal spring-loaded chamber, the other with a hinged top), and a solid wooden die. The die can magically transpose locations from one tube to the other, then under the smaller cover, finally transforming into a quantity of rice, flowers, or silks, and jumping back to either tube to conclude the performance. Tubes contain spring clips to hold back shells. Die a 3 ?? cube. General wear to paint, but very good overall.
