BLACKSTONE, Harry (Henry Boughton). Harry Blackstone?s Aerial Fishing Pole. Circa 1940.

Sold together with a crude Die Through Hat prop (ala the P&L Phantom Die) also owned and used by Blackstone. With a LOA tracing the ownership of the props from Blackstone to Toronto magician Harry Walker, verified by Harry Blackstone Jr., and passed down to the current owner by descent.
