Item Details
Description
Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver Telephone Dialer
third quarter 20th century, New York, New York, engraved "Bertha Hudson". l. 3"; 0.83 t. oz.

Provenance: The Estate of Albert A. Prats, Jr., New Orleans, Louisiana.

Notes: Tiffany's sterling silver telephone dialer was made famous by its appearance in the film "Breakfast at Tiffany" when Paul and Holly (George Peppard and Audrey Hepburn) browse Tiffany's for something within their $10 budget. The salesman (character actor John McGiver) suggests the telephone dialer, but it is rejected by the couple: "The price is right, but I must say that I'd hoped for, how shall I say it? . . . something more romantic." They settle on having a Crackerjack ring engraved instead, which will feature in the film's finale.
Condition
**A warm patina from much use, but a good, solid and unusual novelty. Marked (in the die) "Tiffany & Co. Sterling M".
