Kaps, Fred. Fred Kaps’ 10 Guilder Coin and Shell. Circa 1974. Made by a jeweler in Holland for Kaps who later presented the coin and gimmick to his friend Danny Dew. With a cloth carrying pouch. Presented as a gift to Danny Dew by Kaps. Accompanied by an ALS from Kaps to Dew with the original mailing cover in which Kaps discusses teaching Dew a coin routine, Ken Brooke, Scotty York, and other matters, signed “Fred.” According to the consigner, a confidant of Danny Dew, after making a gift of the props, Kaps asked the jeweler who produced them to duplicate a set for his own use. The jeweler said the job was too complicated, and refused.
