This is a collection of personal desk objects from the estate of Gordon Bunshaft, the influential American architect best known for his work with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and iconic projects such as the Lever House and Beinecke Library. The grouping includes four items: a vintage lighter, a sculptural paperweight, a miniature shovel pin, and a small glass piece.

The listed price includes all four items to be sold as a set.

The pieces vary in size and material, with finishes ranging from metal to glass. All show signs of wear consistent with age and use, including surface marks and blemishes, adding to their character and provenance. Overall, the items are in good vintage condition. Please see photos.

Shovel Pin from Manufacturers Trust Company Building: 2.75 inches x .5 inches. Likely a commemorative pin for the groundbreaking or opening ceremony. It may or may not be from Tiffany but arrived to us in a Tiffany sleeve.
