Andy Martin –
This was invented by János Bartl from Hamburg in Germany c. 1934, and licensed to Davenport’s in April 1934 to sell under the name Demon Wonder Box. It was marketed in the 8th issue of the Demon Telegraph, a house-magazine from Davenport. In the early versions like this one only two sides could be opened. c. 1952 an advanced version like this one came to the market with the name “Silk Wonder Perfect” and you could open all four sides.
This version by Kling is easily the best quality version I have seen. It is heavily chrome plated and if you hold this you will feel the difference from others you might have owned. It is not stamped – most of the Klingl items I have are stamped Klingl-Wein but much of their earlier items were not. The second you receive this you will know it was made for quality.
I’ve included some flags for production but you could easily double the size of the load if you wanted.
Klingl or Zauber-Klingl was an Austrian Magic manufacturer and dealer founded by Rudiga Michael Klingl c. 1869 and they continued until the 1980’s. Their creations are high quality and are keenly sought by collectors today.
