Tannen, Louis. Brass medallion from Louis Tannen’s Magic Shop. New York, Virgil Anjos, ca. 1943. This heavy brass medallion/logo/plaque adorned the wall of Louis Tannen’s world famous magic shop in Manhattan. Formed in the likeness of the Tannen logo of a rabbit springing from a top hat, holding a wand. 11 ¾ x 12”. The verso signed by Tannen owner Tony Spina attesting to the authenticity and history of the piece. Accompanied by an 8 x 10” studio portrait of Irv Tannen and Tony Spina, signed and inscribed by Tannen, as well as five Tannen-made palming coins and eight medallions from the company’s annual Jubilee conventions. From humble beginnings as the Nat Louis Magic Shop in the borough of Brooklyn, Louis Tannen’s magic store would grow to become a fixture in Manhattan and arguably the best-known and most profitable retail magic store of the 20th century.
