Find of the century?


I had an interesting thing happen yesterday.
Thus we have a bunch of Bess Houdini's hair.



UPDATE: Poll results.


  1. Was this her souvenir of Hairy, ok horrible pun, but Im here all week.

  2. Hey, my vote didn't show up.

    Look, I don't like my own hair in a hairbrush, let alone anyone else's. But pull it out of a plughole ...

    (I'm here all week too).

    1. Let me know what you voted and I can put it in (I think).

    2. It showed up after I left the comment. Sorry.

      And now five people agree with me I see.

  3. No love for Houdini's linen bag made by Bess? It probably has both of their DNA in it.

    1. Linen bag? Didn't know about that one...

    2. I got it from Marie Blood many years ago when I went to her place to purchase a Houdini scrapbook and some other items. It was made by Bess and has Houdini's signature in red thread going across the bag.

    3. Wow. That is cool. How special to have personal items like this. I envy you and Jon.

  4. You know, I'm having fun with this, but I hope it doesn't appear that I'm mocking this, because I'm not. I really do think this is a really mind blowing thing. I'd give anything for a single strand.

  5. Now we can clone her.

  6. To change the subject did anyone investigate the potential death certificate of Kukol?

  7. BTW, is that a picture of the brush at Jon Oliver’s website? I also like the “bound” clue; very impressive.

  8. Yes it is the brush on my website.
    Where some think this is a freaky thing to have.
    Giving someone some of your hair goes back to the begining
    of time.
    Famous people through out history would give it to fans.
    There are many groups today that deal in hair from famous
    people. Infact just a few years ago Elvis P. widow found
    one of his brushes from a make up kit, and was selling them
    by the strand for $400.00.
