Andy Martin –
What a unique and scarce nest of four boxes from the Scottish manufacturer: Silray Magic Co. circa 1950s. Silray, run by Jack Silver, specialized in lucite (Perspex) plastic props, and these are a great example of the medium. Not only do these high-quality boxes look great they use an approach that is different to all of the nests of boxes I have seen. They use a variation of the Berg method with the big difference that you can briefly show the bottom of the third box and it appears to be whole. This is accomplished by a clever locking mechanism that traps the smaller box inside precisely at the right location so that it looks like the actual base of the box.
This is the first time I have even seen these boxes and they would look perfect in your collection. Complete with ribbons and key for the outer lock. Highly Recommended for collectors of fine, vintage magic.
