From the E. Theodore Jordan diary/photos/misc attic find. This lot consists of 4 personal items of E. T. Jordan’s from the mid to late 1800’s. Two leather billfolds, one patented 1893 and an even older, larger one, leather souvenir bookmark of 1000 Islands New York, a very curious item which appears to be a crudely made coal or lava-like casting with the bust of Galileo Galilei, embossed with his name and the date 1811 or 1871, possibly a souvenir paperweight.
