Some of the examples in your question are technically not "props", so I will answer what I think you're *really* trying to ask, rather than following the exact wording of the question. In [KoKo's Earth Control][1] from 1928, the main characters find a "Control of Earth" booth. There are levers to control the entire world (weather, seasons and day/night cycle) or destroy it. Below, you can see Fitz the Dog inspecting the lever that destroys the world.
