I have the berg-style die box, Curious Cubes, the Orange Box, the Chinese Flame Clock, the card frame, the silk cabby, squeeze away block, sand frame. Beautiful pieces.
My "holy grail" is the Deluxe Oriental Die Box. I hope to find one someday. They fetch some very dear prices though!

I just bought my first piece of Milson Worth for my working collection: a near mint Chinese Flame Clock with original instructions. I'm delighted!

I have 2 Milson Worth tricks. An Astro ball cabinet and a slk cabby. I paid $5.00 each for them a few years back from a fellow that sold me several other items. At the time I had no idea they were collectors items. A while back Chance put out an offer to me to send a few pictures of them, and he could give me a rough estimate of what they are worth. I'm not looking to sell them, but it would be interesting to see what they go for. Now I just need to go buy a digital camera.

Depending on the condition, the Astro Ball cabinet goes from 250 - 400 dollars, and Silk Cabby 125 -250 dollars.

Thanks for the info. They are both in pretty good shape. This must be one of those rare times that I actually came out good on a deal.
Thanks again, Bob.

I like picking up Milson-Worth items whenever I come across something I don't already have (or if I find a duplicate of something I really love!). So far, I have:

Curious Cubes
Arm Guillotine
Coin of the Realm (x 2)
Mephisto Die Tube (mint, new in box!)
Die Box (Joe Berg style) (x 2)
Color Cubes Box Release
Transcendental Half
Squeeze-Away Box
Drawer Box (absolutely gorgeous natural wood finish)

I also have the Worth Magic (i.e., pre Milson-Worth) Satyr's Slate. This trick is a small (approx 1.5" x 2") slate that is blank, and then can magically predict a spectator's card selection. In have not seen one anywhere else, so I'm curious how many of these are out there???

How do you think Owen compares with Milson-Worth in terms of craftsmanship and aesthetics?

I have the light bulb penetration, and have not seen too many of them out there. I have fun when I perform it!
