Anybody recognize this? It appears to be a coaster by Lenox Silver, N.Y.C. It is the only one I've seen or heard about and there doesn't seem to be anything online, either.
Thanks! Cliff

I do !
It's Paul Whiteman.
How did you come across it. definitely a cool piece. I wonder if others were made with different band leaders. I'm curious about the history.

Re: Potato Head Coaster by Lenox?
Could this have been a promo from the 1920s PALAIS ROYAL nightclub in New York when the Paul Whiteman band played there extensively? Were such things made?

I don't think this company is the same Lenox.fran604g wrote:Have you tried contacting Lenox to see if they can help? https://www.lenox.com/CDBPDX wrote:Could this have been a promo from the 1920s PALAIS ROYAL nightclub in New York when the Paul Whiteman band played there extensively?

I'm sure it's probably not the original co./corporation, but it seems to have the lineage. Whether or not their historical documentation is intact, I don't know, but it might be worth a shot?estott wrote:I don't think this company is the same Lenox.fran604g wrote:Have you tried contacting Lenox to see if they can help? https://www.lenox.com/CDBPDX wrote:Could this have been a promo from the 1920s PALAIS ROYAL nightclub in New York when the Paul Whiteman band played there extensively?
