Magic Collection of Jim Rawlins Part IV

Houdini’s Bathtub. Enameled cast iron bathtub from the New York residence of Harry and Beatrice Houdini. 60 x 26 x 23”. Showing significant wear, but intact and sturdy despite its age. Removed from the Houdinis’ home at 278 W. 113th Street, New York, and accompanied by documentation and photographs, including a LOA from the homeowner, attesting to the history of the object, and documenting its presence in the home during and since Houdini’s time. Photographs from the interior of the home suggest the tub was on the top floor bathroom, which had "BH" tiles, and would have been primarily used by Bess.
