Jumbo Rising Cards Houlette. Los Angeles: Thayer Manufacturing Co., ca. 1930s.
Parlor version of the classic Rising Cards houlette, constructed in hardwood and designed for use with standard jumbo playing cards. The deck is placed within the open-front frame, where selected cards mysteriously rise one at a time. The form closely follows Thayer’s Presto Rising Cards, advertised with a skeleton houlette through which the cards remained plainly visible. An uncommon jumbo-card version; minor wear, very good condition. Houlette only; cards not included.
