Just about everyone of us has seen a famous image of Houdini standing in a jail cell with cuffs and chains.
But which one did you see?
- L302-55 or L302-60
And where?
- Television, VHS, DVD, Book, Baseball Card, Magazine, Newpaper, TV Guide, Ebay
How do you tell them apart?
- Look at location of Houdini’s right thumb
- Look at location of the top of Houdini’s hair
Which is your favorite and why?
- L302-55 or L302-60
Next week’s post will include other evidence of where these images have appeared.
One of the first images of Houdini I ever saw was L302-60 on a deck of cards that I still have. But the image was from the waist up. It was years before I ever saw the full length.
I have two of those decks, one is still sealed; Part 2 will include that image plus others.
