Devil’s Mail Box / Devil’s Card Rise. F.G. Thayer & Co., Los Angeles, ca. 1944.
Gold lacquered wooden frame on an elaborate decorative base, devised to secretly exchange one envelope for another under the guise of placing it within the frame. The method allows for a clean and deceptive card rise, message transposition, or prediction effect.
A well-made utility prop with strong visual presence, suited to parlor or stage performance. Retains its original painted finish. Measures 6½ × 9¾ × 2¾”. Mild wear consistent with age and use. Very good condition.
