Three Short Barrel-Type Keys Owned by Harry Houdini. The longest 1 ”. All three show wear, but in good condition. With a LOA relating the history of the keys, which were obtained from the Houdini collection of Paul Harter, and a newspaper story relating details of Harter’s Houdini collection. Harter reportedly owned 60 pounds of Houdini’s keys – and paid nothing for them. Hardeen, Houdini’s brother, sent them to Harter as a gift. All Harter had to pay for was the cost of shipping.
