Cords of Cairo. New Haven, Petrie & Lewis (P&L), ca. 1935. Cords running through two separate wooden pillars act in sympathy; when one is pulled, the other retracts, and vice versa – even after a visible cord connecting the two is severed. With the scarce original cloth-covered stand. Pillars 13” long. Very good. Scarce.
