Flowering Rose Bush. New Haven, Petrie & Lewis (P&L), ca. 1945. A barren green plant in a large pot rests on a table. On command, roses begin to sprout and grow in a manner resembling time-lapse photography. At the conclusion of the trick, the flowers can be cut from the branches and distributed. Faux plant is expertly manufactured of copper, with hammered metal leaves and operates in the manner of an automaton. Hallmarked. With wooden road case. Some wear to foliage and finish of pot, minor scrapes and dents, but overall good working condition.
