Auction ends this morning - CBS Broadcast Pioneer Dr. Frank Stanton Novelty Envelope Money Clip Fifth Ave NY

 For your consideration is a Swank money clip in the form of a posted letter, with the name and address of legendary CBS broadcast pioneer, Frank Stanton.

It is a mid century novelty money clip made by Swank in the form of an addressed envelope with a little red jewel as a stamp.

It was expertly engraved with his name and fabulous Fifth Avenue address, right across from Central Park.

It was carried and loved and has commensurate wear.

A very unusual and very cool bit of broadcast and NYC historical memorabilia.

Fenton Uranium CUSTARD Glass Footed Ruffled Compote Textured Blossoms 1960s

This lovely vintage Fenton hand painted footed compote dish is perfect for candy, nuts and sweetmeats.

Very pale green satin custard glass contains uranium and fluoresces bright green in black light.

This is 3 1/2 inches tall and 4 1/2 inches across. The pink flowers are textured and thoughtfully placed.

Hand painted by Fenton artist Sandy S.

It is in very good condition but does have a small chip on the rim of the foot along with some minor manufacturing flaws.

You can't see the chip due to the nature of the satin glass. You have to feel for it to find it.

I have a matching vase in excellent condition.

See it here in our eBay shop.
