Jumbo Four Ace Stand. F.G. Thayer & Co., Los Angeles, ca. 1930s.
Ebonized wood stand with gilt dividers and stenciled numerals 1–4, designed for the clean display and secret switching of jumbo cards. A classic Thayer utility piece, most often used for Four Ace routines and similar transpositions. Bold, stage-sized construction typical of Thayer’s Los Angeles output.
Includes original typed instructions (No. 410 “Four of a Kind”) and original wrapping papers, elements seldom found together. Also accompanied by two packs of jumbo cards (modern Bicycle cards, not period).
Excellent condition. A particularly well-preserved and complete example.
