Description
A regular looking brass pen made by the Wearever Co. which was founded in 1918. Pen pulls apart to reveal 4 metal shims inside. Formally the property of Theo Hardeen as acquired by antique magic dealer Elmer Eckam. We cannot verify this was from Houdini, but it was owned by Hardeen. A very clever way to conceal shims. Worn and tarnished from use. $150+
