LINK: Antiques Roadshow Houdini letter
The PBS show Antiques Roadshow recently featured a Houdini letter from a collection in Palm Springs, California. The letter has some pretty interesting content. It's dated July 21, 1910, shortly after Houdini's return from Australia, and in it he talks about using his "bi-plane" to fly from city to city during his upcoming British tour. He also mentions having a car in New York, which nicely debunks the oft-repeated notion that Houdini never drove after Australia.

I'm surprised this is not on his stationary. When did HH start using his stationary from 278 W 113th? --Dale from Cleveland
ReplyDeleteHoudini has stationary going back to the start of his career. But I've seen letters on blank paper. With this one it looks like he signed and sent his carbon copy. Maybe he spilled coffee on his stationary original. :)
