Hotel Knickerbocker Cigar Ashtray with Matchstriker — $500.00
The Knickerbocker's most famous guest, however, wasn't, in strict terms, a 'guest' at all, but rather a resident. In order to be near the Metropolitan Opera, which at the time was located just three blocks away, Caruso and his family lived in the hotel from its opening until his death in 1921. Vincent Astor, the son of John Jacob Astor IV (who went down with the Titanic in 1912), announced he would close the hotel in 1921. There's no clear story on exactly why he shuttered the Knickerbocker a mere...

For some reason, Soule disliked his landlord, Harry Cohn, and always gave Cohn the worst...

Anchor-Hocking Manhattan Glass — $54.00
The Manhattan pattern is made up of concentric ribs, influenced by the signature skyscrapers of New York. These ribs are pointed so that if you rub your fingernail across them, it will catch on each one and you can hear a little "ting." The 9-ounce Manhattan pieces are heavier than most cocktail glasses because of all the glass that goes into making the ribs, and we are less nervous about using them around clumsy friends.
Lindy's Ashtray — $195.00
Leo "Lindy" Lindermann was the short, hustling founder of Broadway's fabled Lindy's restaurant on Broadway, between 49th and 50th Streets.
