Where the Rainbow Ends. London: Jack Hughes, 1950s. Ribbons are fed into an opening in the front door of a cabinet shown empty moments before. They are suddenly sucked inside the cabinet in a "snake-like" fashion, and when the doors of the box are opened again a doll has appeared inside filling the compartment, and wearing a costume made of the ribbons. Height 52". Classic stenciled Hughes paint scheme. Wear and tear to casters, but good condition overall with original ribbons, winding mechanism, and doll. A scarce early Hughes product.
