Wavy Glass Bowl Carnival from Dugan - Marigold "Brooklyn Bridge" - 1907 USA
About the Item
Very beautiful wavy bowl from the Dugan Glass Company in the United States, first quarter of the 20th century, in iridescent molded glass, called carnival glass, peach-colored, with a wavy-shaped top, decorated in relief of the Brooklyn Bridge and 'an airship with the inscription "Brooklyn Bridge" under the airship in the center of the bridge. The color has marigold iridescence. The color is wonderful.
The undulations of the glass are spectacular and give it an aerial shape.
These bowls were probably made to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of the bridge. A gala ceremony is said to have taken place in May 1908 and would have been the ideal venue to sell souvenirs commemorating the event.
The Dugan Glass Company was a decorative glass manufacturer based in Indiana, Pennsylvania. The company was in business from 1905 to 1913. Carnival glass is molded or pressed glass that has had an iridescent luster applied to the surface. The name carnival glass was adopted by collectors in the 1950s because the items were sometimes given away as prizes at carnivals, fetes, and fairs. However, there is evidence that the vast majority of these items were purchased by households to light homes at a time when only the wealthy could afford powerful electric lighting, as their finish catches light even in dark corners.

- Important Teddy Roosevelt Letter from White House June 1907By Theodore RooseveltLocated in Dallas, TXPresenting A Very Important Teddy Roosevelt Letter from White House June 1907. On ‘The White House’ letterhead. Typed and personally signed and amended by President Theodore Roosevelt. With it’s original White House envelope, stamp and postage marks. Dated June 14th 1907. What makes this letter so important is the author, the office and the content. It refers to the beliefs and opinions of the then President and First Lady (Edith) towards the women’s sufferage and empowerment movement that was the ‘hot topic’ of the time. It is addressed to Eliza Calvert Obenchain who was a well known author at the end of the 19th Century and Early 20th Century. In 1905, Teddy referred to her book “Aunt Jane of Kentucky’ in a speech and recommended that every man in America should read it to understand ‘the plight of their womenfolk’. He regularly corresponded with her and we have a number of those letters in our collection. It appears that both he and Edith became big fans of Mrs Obenchain who was also heavily involved in the Suffragist movement. The letters also provide a fascinating and historic record of Roosevelt’s personal beliefs and feelings on female empowerment. The Letter Reads: The White House Washington Oyster Bay, N.Y., June 14, 1907 Personal “Dear Mrs. Obenchain: I gladly accept the autographed copy of “Aunt Jane” which you have been so kind to send me. But Aunt Jane is so good and so wise that she must not (amount “race (illegible)) fall into the terrible mistake of the self-indulgent, selfish, shortsighted women, cold in heart and in temper, who shirk the duties of mother-hood and then try to cover up to themselves and to others their cowardice or self-indulgence by making believe they are actuated by wise or lofty motives. * With great regard, believe me, Sincerely yours, Theodore Roosevelt *And she must not give aid and comfort to unsexed or sexless creatures by a jest which they may take for earnest ! Mrs. Eliza Calvert Obenchain, Bowling Green, Kentucky.“ The envelope is From: The White House. Addressed to: Mrs. Eliza Calvert Obenchain, Bowling Green, Kentucky and marked ‘Personal’. It is stamped on the front as posted from Oyster Bay, New York Post Office on June 16 1907. It has a red 2 Cent...Category
