Description


















What’s offered here is a Great Bess Houdini package.



All three of these pieces came from Jay Abbott’s scrapbook.



The First item is a Handwritten Signed Letter (approx. 5”x7”) to Jay.



It reads:



"67 Payson Ave City - Dear Jay - Thanks dear for your card, I’m surprised however - I did write you and asked you to come to me at my T shop - Glen comes often - I’m sorry but fear I cannot make your party - you know I’m a very busy and tired business lady. Gave your phone number to a French actress who needed a juvenile - but she could not reach you - do try to run over a moment to see me - there is much I would like to ask you - Lots of Love - Bess -64 West 49th St."



The Second item is a Newspaper Clipping having to do with the Bess’ T Room. Caption reads: "dini’sWidow Opens An Eerie Tea Room". As can be seen from the photo above, The first three letters “Hou” of Houdini’s name are missing. The clipping measures 4 1/4”x5 3/4” and is glued onto what may have been a scrapbook page. Which is good, now it’s firmer and not crumbling.



The Third, and last item, is a One-Of-Kind Photo of Bess with Jay and Anne. It measures 3 1/2”x5 3/4”. Photo shows the three standing in front of a Wonderful Car. The line in the photo (going across Jay) must be a scratch, since the photo isn’t cracked or cut.



I have put this 3-item package (which is all Professionally double matted and framed) together, since they all came from Jay Abbott’s scrap book and had to do with Bess, Jay and the T- Room.



Great content and theme.



If this were a Houdini Photo, Handwritten Signed Letter and Newspaper Clipping, it would be worth many THOUSANDS of Dollars.



Don’t under estimate the value of Bess’ material.

BINDING CONTRACT:  By placing a bid on this item you are making a legally binding contract between you and the seller. Once you place a bid on this listing, it may not be retracted. In most states it is illegal to win an auction and not pay for it. In other words, if you don't want to pay for it, don't bid on it!
PROXY BIDDING FOR ALL BIDS:  Please bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay for this item. Your maximum amount will be kept secret. Magic Castle Auctions will bid on your behalf as necessary by increasing your bid by the current bid increment up until your maximum is reached. This saves you the trouble of having to keep track of the auction as it proceeds and prevents you from being outbid at the last minute unless your spending limit has been exceeded. If you have bid on this item before your new bid must be greater than your previous bid.
DETAILS FOR THE SELLER AND THE WINNER:

  • The sellers contact information and the winners contact information will not be disclosed until the seller has paid any auction fees due.
  • The seller and the winner should contact each other within three business days to discuss the payment, shipping, and handling details.
  • The winner must pay the seller directly for the item and the seller must fulfill the winners order when payment terms are met.
  • Leave feedback for the other party once the seller has received the payment and the winner has received the merchandise.

    If the seller is unable to establish contact with the winner within 3 business days of the end of the auction, she/he may lose the place as the winner and be at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder Alert, both of which can ultimately lead to your accounts suspension and or termination with Magic Castle Auctions. (Note: Once negative feedback is left, it can not, and will not, be removed!)
