Smyth X-Ray Cast Iron Bank
By Henry C. Hart Mfg. Company. Detroit, Mi. - Circa Late 1890's. Two pairs of internally angled mirrors establish a double periscope effect that creates the optical illusion that you are actually looking through an opaque penny; amazing trickery that dumbfounds the viewer every time.
