Description

The listing, estate auction set of three vintage handmade ornate copper boxes has ended.

So cool! You can get an idea of the tiny size by the penny that is soldered on to the top of one of them. One has an antique button on it. The button itself is amazing. It is multi-colored and actually sewn onto the lid!
Adorable little treasure boxes! I am keeping one from the lot that it not shown. I put my dog's baby teeth in it!

I was a working magician for 10 years in Las Vegas these are called "Okito boxes" The okito box is a cylindrical box fitted to the size of a coin, used to perform coin magic. Invented by Tobias Bamberg, better known by the Stage name Okito, a coin placed in the box seems to vanish, appear, penetrates the box

Made from copper pipes?

you could make them from pipes but these were not made from pipes. they are an 18 or 20 g sheet and the tops have also been soldered . copper pipes do not have this kind of beautifully finished solder seam.
