Wonder Boxes. Merv Taylor for Richard Himber, North Hollywood, ca. 1950.
Pair of finely made stainless steel boxes, each approximately 4”. Shown empty, the boxes are nested, from which a production of multiple silk handkerchiefs is effected. Noted for their exceptionally thin construction and deceptive handling. Light wear; overall very good condition. An uncommon Himber/Taylor collaboration. Hallmarked.
