Harry Houdini – Super Rare! Unknown and Unpublished
The white lettering is NOT on the original. This is an original photo of Harry Houdini taken while he was touring through Kansas…see research and provenance below. Houdini performed many, many times in Kansas. The front-mark says Noble, Atchison, Kans. I personally purchased the photo at an antique store in Atchison for $8.00. Notice that one of the cops in known published photos is the same cop in this rare photo, and he wears the same badge (he had many different cops and different badges). Also note the shackles on the floor.
Information obtained from the Anderson County history books reveal that Harry and Beatrice Houdini traveled to Garnett, Kansas in 1897. Houdini held a seance at the Opera House hoping to communicate with his deceased mother who would tell them who had murdered an Anderson County resident. The Opera house was overflowing and the crowd enjoyed the suspenseful show. However, the murderer was never disclosed. During his stay, Harry Houdini was put in a lock box which was placed inside the city jail. Needless to say, the famous Houdini easily escaped.
Film comedian and director Buster Keaton was born in Piqua (Pick-way), Kansas, while his parents were performing in a traveling medicine show. Myra and Joseph Keaton were touring in October of 1895, with Harry Houdini in a traveling vaudeville show. The troop stopped in Piqua for a performance and while in Paiqua, Myra Keaton gave birth to a baby boy who they named - Frank Joseph Keaton, later to be known as Buster Keaton. They also performed near Iola, KS.
In the mid-1890s, Houdini and Frank Allen, the propman at the Kansas City Orpheum built a trick trunk to replace the box he had been using. This photo was taken just 30 miles north of Kansas City in Atchison.

Solider in Battle Shirt with Pistol, Bowie and Flag
Fabulous tintype of a soldier holding an American Flag and a massive Bowie knife. He is wearing an extremely fancy Battle Shirt seldom encountered in this type of hard image. His Battle Shirt has what appears to be pearl buttons with many forming a “heart” and two “large stars” across his chest. He also has a pistol stuck in his belt! To top-off the image, he is wearing a US buckle and Kepi . The tintype is slightly smaller than a 1/6 plate, however, it is housed in a nice 1/6 plate case, and displays very well. There is a tiny loss of emulsion to the left, that is hardly worth mentioning, but we mention for accuracy.
PRICE: $1,100.00
