which I like in part for all of the corrections and notes from the instructor on top of them

In the span of a week I found a series of five carved marble and wooden books--two large ones

C. 1940s Mechanical (Magic!) Cigar Fan, with Heart Studded Flowers promitive which I like in partBeyond the novelty of this, as a cigar that opens to a fan, is the great delight of actually enacting that transformation, by slowly sliding the top upward; it feels akin, I would imagine, to pulling a rabbit from a hat! I also quite like the transformation of a phallic object into a full, crenulated, heart studded pink one! And closing it back up is equally satisfying. 5 1 4 l closed; 12 1 4 l open. Very good condition. C. 1940s or so, I believe.
