As a collector of old props, I love finding truly unique items. Last month these items that belonged to Joseph Dunninger popped up on a used magic FB group and I snatched them up!
I got the items you see above and a copy of the email from the original seller. Things like this are hard to price as the lineage of them are hard to track down to prove they were Dunninger’s personal items.
That said, it’s not impossible. There could be a picture somewhere Dunninger wearing the tie tack or the cufflinks and that would prove they were his. It’s a long shot, but the story is great, and they are cool to have in my collection!
