"Marlo Library" Bookplate

Postby rchouhan » July 16th, 2021, 8:45 am

Hi All,

I recently purchased a copy of "Hindu Magic" by Hereward Carrington, published in 1909. Inside the pastedown is a bookplate labelled "Marlo Library" and a reference to the IBM. Opposite, on the flyleaf is a signature, "'Marlo' Magician". Would any of you have any clues as to which Marlo this may be? It doesn't look like Ed's handwriting. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

In the magazine Magicland (edited by Mark Henry) in1924:

"Edwin H. Marlowe, professionally known as Mystic Marlo".

May be this man?

It's not Ed Marlo.
