[Houdini] Martinka & Company Catalog. New York, 1919.
Illustrated eight-page Martinka & Co. catalog issued during the period of ownership by Harry Houdini. The rear cover features an image of handcuffed Houdini advertising “A New Escape” and “Become a Houdini — Escape from a Box after having been nailed in it.” Interior pages illustrate and promote a variety of magic effects and apparatus available through the firm during the period. Original wraps. 8vo. Light age toning and wear consistent with age, including a small tear to the rear cover; very good overall. An appealing example of early Houdini-era magic ephemera.
