George Guerra –
Fascinating coins through glass
This is one CW item I somehow missed getting during the many years I bought directly from Nick and Rich. When one does become available for sale, it usually demands a high price. I acquired this one from a collector a few years ago and I am so happy it’s now part of my collection.
As the images show, it’s a coin penetration of four coins from the top to bottom of two stacked brandy sniffers. Now, the method is utterly diabolical and rather daring, but the illusion and effect comes off as real magic. The coins are actually heard clinking into the glass one by one before the handkerchief is whisked away. It should be mentioned that the brandy sniffers are not gimmicked in any way.
The storage cabinet for the brandy sniffers is a beauty of smoothly finished, solid walnut construction with elegant brass touches as seen. The inside is lined entirely with green felt to protect the glassware. Overall, a favorite among the few select CW pieces I hold in high esteem for both beauty and mechanical ingenuity.
