Description

Looking a little like a Lunar Landing Space Pod this cabinet on four removable legs stands 19 inches high to the top of the cabinet and cabinet dimensions are 12 inches wide x 8 inches deep x 10 inches high. The mystery part of this cabinet is in what the builder had in mind for its use.

Three of the doors being the front and bottom and rear are held fast with magnet cabinet catches with the top door resting upon metal brads. With all doors open the cabinet may be seen without content. With all doors closed the one door has a cylinder held in place with metal brackets which aligns with round openings in the side walls of the cabinet.

In addition to the cylinder will be found a metal tube closed at one end and open on the opposite but with a wood ball held in place by a cord that is wedged in a brass clip all of this being used to hold tightly compressed a string of cloth covered spring sausages for release at the proper moment by pulling on the cord.

The spring sausages are of course included. The cabinet is made of wood and in very fine condition. The mystery will now be left to the winning bidder.
