Vintage Abbott Watch Your Step circa 1940’s

This is a very early prop circa 1940.

Two highly decorated wooden stands (approximately 14″ x 12″ x 1″) are shown, and, with them, some colorful cut-outs of children, both boys and girls. The design on one stand is composed of various traffic signals; the other with a huge Red Cross on it to represent a hospital.

The magician patters about the mistakes children make every day and illustrates the consequences by transferring the cut-outs, one by one, to the hospital stand. At the finish, with a timely word of warning, advice and helpful hints, the performer magically transports the children back to their original place of safety. The hospital is empty!  Vg condition.

Estimate $150-250
