[QUOTE="mforder, post: 3998620, member: 20023"]Hello everyone, Here goes my first attempt at posting things found in the "Steel Box" I will try my best to post things appropriately as to make it easier on folks to find. First is if you have not read my intro here is a link to it that tells you more about the box itself. [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/hello-from-nj-introduction-to-me-and-the-steele-box.61531/[/URL] I don't know where to start so I picked something that may be interesting right off the bat, not sure. Some of the things like envelopes in the box still had their original content. See is a broadside that was pulled from the box. [B][U]Item #1:[/U][/B] Adding this because of the content of the cover plus the face of the cover. It's from Low's Opera house in Providence Rhode Island. From what I can tell by using Google maps the building is no longer there. The broadside that was in this cover measures about 5" wide by 30" tall. At the bottom of the broadside it mentions "Hermann the Great" who appears to be one of the more predominant magician during the same time that Houdini was around. I plan on looking up some of the information on the broadside to find out if any of the other people are known to be famous. If I find anything out that is interesting I will add it to this post.
