Scarce 8vo “pitch” book issued by Heckler explaining the habits and lives of his trained fleas; — two illustrated folding brochures advertising Heckler’s well-known and genuine flea circus, a central attraction at the midtown Manhattan attraction; — a similar brochure for, presumably, Heckler’s son presenting the fleas; — and a strip of five unaccomplished tickets dispensed from a coin operated scale at Hubert’s.
