Bensley Harry (w1705)
- Description: Harry Bensley set off on a world tour wearing an iron mask as part of a bet. Known as “The Man in the Iron Mask” or “The Masked Walker”, his goal was to win the $100'000 prize put up by the bet between John Pierpoint Morgan and Hugh Cecil Lowther Lonsdale. He started from Trafalgar Square on January 1, 1908. Subsequent attestations are rare, leaving doubts about the actual completion of the project
