[HOUDINI]. Harry Houdini Judd Leg Irons. Pair of Judd leg irons, marked by the Mattatuck Handcuff Co., Waterbury, Conn, ca. early 20th century. Overall length 20”. With key, retained on string with old paper inventory label. Accompanied by a typed statement of provenance, 28 October 1955, by Harry Beehrle (Beehrle the Wizard), tracing the pair of irons from Houdini to Theo Hardeen to himself, and finally to Larry Weeks: “After Houdini’s death in 1926 these irons were acquired by Hardeen along with most of Houdini’s theatrical and magic equipment…and they have been in my sole possession since 1932 when Hardeen presented them to me.”
