[HOUDINI] HARDEEN, Theo (1876–1945). Inventory and Price List of Houdini Illusions and Manacles. Circa 1944. Original four-page carbon list produced by Hardeen, brother of Houdini, and annotated in his own hand with prices, listing and partially describing handcuffs and illusions owned by Houdini and offered for sale by Hardeen. Accompanied by a manuscript postcard SIGNED by Hardeen (“Theo") and addressed to “Sam" [Margules?] further explaining the list. Among the property offered are Houdini's Milk Can ($100), Kellar's Spirit Cabinet ($250), a Substitution Trunk ($125), and dozens of restraints, including many on three different display boards. Many of Houdini's props and cuffs were sold by Hardeen to Sidney Radner, though this list enumerates dozens that were not. A fascinating and historically significant list. Kevin Connolly Collection.
