"Cups of Plenty," 1960's Mouse & Cheese S& P Plus

From antique to mid century, this lot of plenty includes  two "Cups of Plenty," apparently custom built magic props.  Richard Himber was a dance band leader and violinist known for his interest in magic.  Per AI & other sources, the "Cups of Plenty" are supposed to turn coffee beans into coffee.  Himber marketed these around 1950.  Untested. Also included, wooden box - 6 3/8" x 2.5", 3-piece mouse and cheese salt and pepper set, Japan circa 1960's, and an Art Deco look fountain pen holder on a green onyx stone with a metal pheasant who has a broken right leg.
