Magic Collection of Jim Rawlins Part IV

Two Theo Bamberg Conjuring Catalogs. New York, 1909. Including “professional” catalog in orange pictorial wrappers bound in plain green wraps. Profusion of illustrations, with “confidential” list laid in. Prices taped over (as issued), a few old cello tape repairs and chips; together with Bamberg’s “amateur” catalog with front color wrapper (lacking rear wrapper, spine taped). 8vos. Bamberg issued just two catalogs during his tenure as New York magic shop owner. The “professional” catalog is essentially an English language Willmann catalog, as Bamberg served as the American representative of Willmann’s firm. The confidential price list included here is scarce.
