[Letterhead] Large Collection of Vintage Magicians’ Letterheads. Significant collection of over 250 trimmed magicians’ letterheads, neatly organized in a single three-ring binder, with typed index. Examples from famous and unknown conjurers include the decorative letterheads of Alexander (three different), Blackstone Magic Co., Brema, Tarbell, Burgess, Frevoli, Gamage, Gysel, Durbin, Eckam, Stewart James (early), Mullholland, Namreh, Mandroop, Newmann, Pinxy, Oswald Rae, Faucett Ross, Saal, various magic clubs and societies, dealers, and many more. Nearly 200 pages. Adhesive dried; many examples loose. An impressive collection. A typed note from Jay Marshall at the front of the book states, “This scrapbook of old letterheads was given to me by Bob Lund. The original collection was made by Tom Bowyer and the loose pages at the back were collected by Augustus Rapp. Bob and I regret that the letters were not saved intact, as in many cases the text and the signature would be more valuable than the letterhead. Jay Marshall, May 24, 1964.”
