117. Jewel Chest Mystery. Indiana Pennsylvania, Bob Kline, ca. 1985. A small version of Okito’s Mandarin’s Dream. A transposition effect. Four “jewel boxes” are shown in a large cabinet. They magically transpose with a Geisha-esque doll covered by an ornate tube, resting on a table some distance away. Large cabinet 24 x 15 ½ x 32” resting on its own table, which stands 33” high. Small table 32” high. Minor wear to paint and felt of shorter table; very good overall. One of only three units manufactured by Kline, and considered one of the finest examples of his abilities as both a craftsman and designer of magic apparatus.
