POSSIBLE THAYER NIKKO SILK DEVICE

From Harry Kellar and Thayer came this, the finest version of a Stillwell ball ever produced. The Stillwell ball was a device used to conceal a handkerchief and there were several variations. The billiard ball version, loop ball, hollow ball, and this. The addition of the wooden peg at the end of the ball made additional concealments possible at the back of the hand, as well as changeovers. The gimmick was a hollow wood ball with a beautiful flesh paint.
