Rapping Hand. J. Bartl, Hamburg, ca. 1930.
Painted composition hand used for the classic spirit rapping effect, answering questions while isolated on a glass sheet—one tap for yes, two for no. Measures 8” in length. Stamped “Germany” and penciled “Ducrot” at the wrist, suggesting export through New York dealer Frank Ducrot of Hornmann Magic Co. Light rubbing to the palm side; otherwise presents very well. Attractive example with noted provenance from the collection of Edwin A. Dawes.
