Description

"HEANEY'S PROFESSIONAL CATALOG OF WONDERS, CA. 1923" Color: Black; White "Heaney's Professional Catalog of Wonders," a trade catalog of magic equipment and supplies, ca. 1923. The 96-page item, number 24 in the series, has a paper cover with a border of black lines on the front cover, within which is the title, company logo, and series number. On the back cover is an advertisement for a book, "Modern Card Miracles." The inside front cover is an introduction, followed by product offerings, which consist of a description of the trick, its price, and an illustration. Items include objects of illusion, card tricks, coin tricks, stage acts and other magic goods. Because item 1.2 is catalog 25 from 1924, it is supposed that this object is from 1923. Although there is some discoloration to the edge of the cover and denting to the spine ends, the artifact is in good condition otherwise.
