Mephisto's Firecracker. New Haven: Petrie & Lewis (P&L), ca. 1939. A large burning firecracker vanishes from a nickel-plated case (7" long), and in its place appears a vanished silk flag. The cracker reappears hanging from the back of a spectator, then explodes with a loud noise in his hands. With original accessories including push rod, spring clip, wooden block, and wicks, housed in a later wooden box. Good. Scarce.
