Robin’s Miracle Series was put out by Barrie Robin in the 1950s. He purchased many items from Gus Davenport who was running Goldstons in the 1950s, following Will Goldston’s death in 1948. Davenports bought his business and operated it as the wholesale part of Davenports business. The contents of this double-decker magic set are similar to others sold by Gus Davenport, usually under the name Maskelyne’s Mysteries. The red paper on this box was typically used for the Robin’s boxes. Later these boxes were sold by Robins, a partnership between Gus Davenport and Maureen Robin.
