Four Sphinx Store Display Window Cards. [New York], 1936-37.

Used to sell subscriptions in magic shops of the era. 8 3/8 x 12 ¼”. Minor edgewear. Uncommon. Despite the popularity and relatively common nature of issues of The Sphinx – the magazine is, almost unarguably the most significant and popular magic periodical of the twentieth century - these advertising cards are seldom encountered.
