I finally got my hands on a Magnet Master.

Well, two of them. The 900 and 400 models. Arthur and Reno Carrara designed the Magnet Master in 1947. It was distributed by The Walker Art Center and promoted through their Everyday Art Quarterly.  Arthur was an architect-designer based in Chicago. Reno was his brother. 

Arthur is in the middle.

It's always great to get more Balmer in my life.
