This was invented by János Bartl from Hamburg in Germany c. 1934, and licensed to Davenport's in April 1934 to sell under the name Demon Wonder Box. It was marketed in the 8th issue of the Demon Telegraph, a house-magazine from Davenport. In this early version only two sides could be opened. c. 1952 an advanced version came to the market with the name Silk Wonder Perfect and you could open all four sides as can be see here. Brema & Co. began making this version c. 1946 and Viking purchased the rights to Brema c. 1978. _EF Performer shows a handsome plated box with thin sides.
