    Has anyone ever seen one of these? I found it at a thrift store yesterday; when you open the drawer under the doors, the door open too!
    I googled 'open sesame' and 'wonder bar' but all I found was a you tube video of one '1950's (mine must be older - it has 1963 Bert Piels coasters to set your drink on) open sesame liquor cabinet wonder bar' - but not another anywhere for sale or sold or with info - there was a message that said something like "to see one go here" and a link to eBay, but when I clicked on it eBay came up with a Sorry we can't find this anywhere.
    Is this that rare?
    Is it valuable?
    It is a cute trick - and probably gets cuter the more you drink!
    Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    Good grief! Did it come with the contents? Or did you fill it for advertising?

    Aah! I added to cart to see shipping cost & there was none; I backed out!
    Contents came with it - all for $29.99!

    Love it!
    I have a mid-20th century jewelry box with a similar "open sesame" function.
