"...a note on Kukol:<br /><br />_Billboard_ 4/12/1913 p 18<br />"Houdini is sensationalizing the provinces with his marvelous "escape" act. While playing Newport [Wales] last week, he successfully dived from a bridge into the River Usk, securely handcuffed, and fifty seconds after striking the water, he reappeared, freed from his manacles.

You'd present one when doing business with someone, and certainly Kukol had business to do with stage managers, etc. As far as no contact info., as anon says, Kukol had no permanent contact info. And I doubt very much that Kukol would work with any other magician. I don't think HH would allow it, nor would Kukol consider it.

I hope the Houdini Museum will continue to be open for many years to come. <br /><br />There were a couple of items I was interested in.
