VINTAGE GERMAN TIN LITHOGRAPH "ANDY" MAN WITH CIGAR TOY MECHANICAL SPARKLER

 

A mechanical sparkler, often called a cold spark machine or Sparkular, is a safe, indoor-friendly special effects device that creates a fountain of shimmering, glowing sparks without using fire, smoke, or gunpowder. These machines heat special titanium and zirconium granules, propelling them upwards via a fan to produce a "cold" (often safe-to-touch) visual effect, typically used for wedding dances, concerts, and grand entrances.
