R. S. Schlosser Magic Co. New York, ca. 1917. Publisher’s plain brown wraps. 56 pages. Illustrated with line drawings. Old tape repairs and pencil marks, change of address stamped twice on front wrapper, extremities rubbed, binding cracking. Uncommon. The home-spun look of Schlosser’s catalog belies the quality and high cost of his apparatus, which includes the Improved Burning a Woman Alive Illusion ($325) and The Very Latest Illusion ($550), of which the latter, despite its intentionally non-descript moniker, is “no doubt… the best and most sensational illusion ever offered for sale.”
