WHAT A VINTAGE FIND- CIRCA 1970s!This is the hard to find (especially in this nice condition!) Abbott's Magic Passe Bottles with the silver color (not painted) tubes.Plus, one of the bottles can pour liquid.We could not find another similar set currently for sale on the Internet.

This is a classic con game type routine, with a bottle constantly and surprisingly changing places with a glass- or just vanishing altogether.There are many, many variations of the Passe Bottles routine, with the Abbott and Costello version (see below) one of our favorites.
The prop is in very good condition for a professionally-used vintage set.The paper labels show only minor wear.The paint on the bottles is in very good condition.The bottles and tubes are made of aluminum.Bottles are about 9" high, tubes are about 9.5" high.SEE PHOTOS.
By the way, we also have a set of UNUSED paper labels that work with this set- available below.
