The Davenport family used the name Maskelyne’s Mysteries for their range of magic sets following their purchase of the Maskelyne’s business assets in 1935. This filled box is from around the 1950s, but the box itself with gold edging to the compartments may well be pre-war. The box was probably one sold by Goldstons, the wholesale arm of Davenports run by Gus Davenport.
