The Cabinet of Foo is Abbott’s version of Jack Hughes’ amazing Spacious Production Box that Jack invented c. 1938 as detailed in World of Magic Vol. 1. Jack first released the box when he was in business with Harry Stanley c. 1946 and this version was released under license by Abbott’s c. 1947 as the Cabinet of Foo.
This is clearly a vintage Abbott’s prop, but it is hard to know the exact date of this version. Based on various Potter & Potter listings and the quality and detail of this item I would place it c. 1965 and probably made by Arturo (Glenn Babbs). It is very solid and a real treat to use and it looks amazing.
The Cabinet of Foo has one of the best production loads available for its size and you can really load this bad boy up 🙂
