I just called Alan about it, sent him links, etc. This is probably
correct information; the price is off. He's with a magic bud in Ohio
collaborating on a book and some magic projects. However, he never
heard of Frank Ducrot (another ebay offering by this seller)who the
seller claims once owned Martinka. Well, the three of us never heard
that and I wonder if Ted (the current owner) knows anything. So, if
this info about Frank Ducrot is incorrect, I'd be wary about the
rest. I wouldn't count it out; just be careful.
Bet it comes up at the magic conference in November...

Oh, be still, you fault-finding pickers of nits! Give the guy a
break, I'm sure he's 100% honest. Why, I myself have a pair of
Houdini's skid-marked undies upstairs in my laundry hamper that I'll
be auctioning on Ebay presently. There's a letter of authentication
that I just got done writing and signing, and the opening bid is
68K. One little MOPO boy's gonna be rakin' in the cash, you can
believe that!

This all looks a little suspect to me. A supposed letter, dating from
1937, and stating its provenance is not enough to verify this item.
The crate, it's spray painted lettering and its overly crude
construction and distressed finish, all raise an eyebrow. Plus, this
seller also has things like overly priced scarves, and sculptures for
sale. Say what?
Looks like he raided and obtained remnants from the Spencers Gifts
warehouse.
Until authenticated, that chair might be a 25 dollar thrift store
purchase and not a $67K Houdini prop.
