Description

Doctor Burgun a highly skilled dentist whose hobby was magic and manufacturing beautiful first rate apparatus for performing magicians. It is unlike other types of Welsh Rabbit Pans in construction and made of stainless steel with several parts.

It is actually a wonderful routine of comedy as the magician borrows a hat and places the pan in the hat with the pretense of pushing out the bottom of the hat. Following this action the magician takes and cracks eggs into the hat tossing in baking flour followed by a good squirt of lighter fluid and the expected match.

Flames are seen above the brim of the hat and the magician realizes that the pan is what he should have been using and not the hat so he grabs the pan to stamp out the flames in the hat! After all this action the magician lifts the lid away from the pan and repeats the eggs and flour which is set on fire or not stating that the pan was still hot enough from putting out the fire in the borrowed hat.

The lid is placed on and a magical gesture then the lid is removed and Happy Birthday here comes the cake from within the pan! The hat is lifted and shown to be without harm and returned to the poor spectator that was starting to talk badly about magicians.

One inch surface area with tiny dimples in the body of the pan just under the bottom lip of the cover lid.

Many thanks go to Ken Klosterman for assistance on some of the historical background of this wonderful piece. Residing in his Collection is one of the three known to exist. Circa 1940.
