The trick dates back to the 1940s/50s and still holds up today! The tube has a few rough spots, but nothing major. The checkers have some dings and scratches from typical use. Again, nothing noticeable from a short distance. Nice overall shape. Does not use a metal gimmick (like Cuba Libre).
As always, look closely at the hi-res photos and decide for yourself the condition of the piece.

Effect: (From the ad description)
Two sets of checkers and a metal cylinder, open at both ends, are used in this colorful and perplexing effect. Each set of checkers consists of 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 green. Both sets are stacked so that the colors are in the same order and the one set is covered with the cylinder. The visible set is then rearranged. When the cover is removed from the other set, it is seen to have rearranged itself too! This is repeated a second time. Finally, one of the checkers is vanished, only to reappear between the other 2 under the cover!
