Brotherhood of Magicians Letter, 25 Year & Merlin Certificates - Ken Rudolph
I recently received a large number of items from the estate of William Kennett Rudolph, who was a magician and long-time member of the Magic Castle (The Academy of Magical Arts, Inc.) starting in 1964, and also a 25+ year member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians who was awarded The Order Of Merlin for his long-time membership. He was also a member of the Society of American Magicians going back at least until 1946, and a member of The Pacific Coast Association of Magicians.
In 1974, Rudolph was awarded The Order of Merlin and a 25-year award for 25 years of membership in The International Brotherhood of Magicians. This lot consists of an original signed letter from president Earle J. Christenberry, Jr., congratulating Rudolph on his membership, plus two original certificates. One certificate awards Rudolph with the Order of Merlin, and the other is a 25-year award. All three items are signed by Earle J. Christenberry, Jr. Certificates measure about 8 ½ by 6 ¼ inches, and have embossed gold seals applied.
Letter has original folds and tape residue/slight loss to upper corners. Certificates have some slight wrinkling. Very good overall.
Please see my other auctions for magic memorabilia from Rudolph’s estate. I will be listing more items from his estate in the coming weeks.
Shipping will be combined for those who buy multiple lots.
