HOUDINI, Harry (Erik Weisz, 1874 – 1926). Houdini’s Decorative Fishbowl Prop. Heavy nickel-plated brass bowl with four finely-sculpted imitation goldfish affixed inside under a pane of glass on a golden background. Height 8 ¼”, diameter at widest point 9 ¾”. With two holes in the rim, likely original to the object, and possibly used to secure the object under a table for later production. Acquired from the Radner collection of Houdiniana by the current owner. According to Radner, the bowl sat in the entryway of the Houdini brownstone at 278 W. 113th Street, from which it was removed. Wear and rubbing to plating, but good condition overall.
