MALINI, Max (Max Katz Breit, 1873 - 1942). Max Malini?s Leather Briefcase. Well-worn black leather briefcase owned by the famed sleight-of-hand magician and bearing a red, blue, and white luggage label from the Holland Oost-Azie Lijn (The Holland East Asia Line) (paper well-worn and torn), typed with Malini?s name (much of which has been rubbed away), the date 6/26/38, and with the destination of Singapore faintly visible on the label. The metal clasps stamped ?TOKYO.? Approximately 16 x 12 x 2?, with the leather closure straps significantly rubbed and one thinned and fragile. One of the few personal relics from Malini?s life to come to market in the last 100 years.
