Bruce...I was going to say it's young actor Larry Hagman ("I Dream of Jeannie"; "Dallas") - ha.

Joe--is it Oskar Enzfelden? - one 1/2 of Vienna's "The New Houdinys", from the 1970's era?

Hi,

In photo is Timo Tuomivaara (1938-2004). I believe that, he got that Torture Anchor from Joseph Trudel.

Text on the left is:

Finland's lock- and handcuffking.
------------------------------------

Timo did great escapes. Burning rope many many times, handcuffed to railroad, underwater escapes, challenge escapes, straitjacket under helicopter, even buried alive...

------------------------------------

It would be interesting to hear, where did you got these photos?

JARI: the 1st picture is an actual photo & the 2nd pic is an advertising post card.... TIMO & my father in law ( PRYNCE E. WHEELER ) did business back in the 1960's & 70's....joe

Thank you for the info. Both pictures are familiar. I have several Timo's posters etc. It's interesting to hear, that Timo had very wide contacts to all over... Trudel, Wheeler... It was time before internet, even telephones were rare...
