HARRY HOUDINI, THE HANDCUFF KING
PRESENTED WITH LOVING CUP
This Full Page article published in the October 1901 issue of MAHATMA Magazine.
Houdini was in Essen, Germany when the Loving Cup was presented to him.
Presented during his farewell performance at the Colloseum Theatre.
The article goes on to describe the evening, Houdini's performance, the over crowding of the audience (for one last look at HOUDINI) - right down to describing specially manufactured handcuffs and leg irons for the Challenge, at the end of the evenings performance.
The Loving Cup was made of silver, stands 35 inches high, weighs 40 pounds, and is all inlaid with the 1900 issue of 3 and 5 Mark silver pieces.
There are over 600 marks, in money, in the cup alone.
GAD, does anybody know whatever happened to this Loving Cup?!!
When HOUDINI was only 27 years old, he was taking Europe by storm.
This article goes into great detail.
HOUDINI would stay overseas, from the summer of 1900 for five years, crisscrossing the countries - till he finally returned for engagements in the United States.
Piece has been double matted and shrink wrapped, with form core backing.
Measures 12"x16" - a standard size, so you can buy a nice ready made frame -and- hang on your wall.
The first two photos, above, were taken with my digital camera. They're a little washed out, due to the shrink wrap covering. The third, from my scanner, for a better quality photo. |

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. |
