Maker unknown, mid-20th century.
A classic pocket mystery in miniature. The small metal bottle repeatedly defies gravity, appearing to balance impossibly on its side or upright at the performer’s command. The effect has long been favored as an impromptu curiosity—simple in appearance yet puzzling in execution.
Supplied in an attractive round presentation box covered in red paper with floral banding and a gold-lined interior. Lid label reads: “Imp Bottle – The finest of all pocket tricks.”
Bottle made of polished metal. Box and label showing light wear consistent with age. Very good condition overall.
