Fifteen inch long brass "magic wand". The wand contains an 1898 Barber half dollar. The half dollar is cleverly altered to collapse into a narrow unit, and drops into the wand with a hand manipulated switch.
This wand was made about the time of the western gold rushes just after 1900. it was also from a time that Houdini was garnering attention all over America with his magic tricks. It may be missing a small spring that helps open up the half dollar. HWAC#33833
