Houdini-owned Cobb handcuffs. 1898 patent, w/provenance

Item Details

Description

Houdini-owned Cobb handcuffs. Bean Cobb cuffs patented May 2, 1898, with key. Handsomely framed in a shadowbox with a later photograph of Houdini. Overall size of 13 ¾ x 24”. With letters of provenance from former owners, indicating that the cuffs were originally purchased from the auction of Houdini’s personal property conducted in New Jersey in 1980, where they were recovered from a “trunk of performance restraints in the basement of Houdini’s home at 278 West 113th St., in New York City.” Cuffs somewhat loose in frame.
