HOUDINI, Harry (Erik Weisz, 1874 ? 1926). Houdini Gimbel Brothers Packing Case Challenge. Dated January 16th, 1925, the oversize letterpress handbill reproduces a letter challenging Houdini to escape from a ?strong wooden packing case of heavy timber? constructed by carpenters at the famous New York department store. Text below states that the challenge has been accepted and Houdini will make his escape on stage at the New York Hippodrome on January 20, 1925. 11 x 7?. Old chips and closed tears reinforced with old tape at verso, else very good. An unusually large-format Houdini challenge.
