\n“To Make Tiffany & Co. a Household Name, the Luxury Brand\u2019s Founder Cashed in on the Trans-Atlantic Telegraph Craze”
\nBy Robert Klara
\nFebruary 15, 2024<\/p>\n

George Glazer was quoted in a feature by Smithsonian Magazine <\/strong>historical correspondent Robert Klara that tells the story of how entrepreneur Charles Lewis Tiffany came to turn sections of the Trans-Atlantic Telegraph Cable into popular souvenirs in the mid 19th century and promote Tiffany & Co. George speaks about their ongoing status as a collector’s item today:<\/p>\n

In recent decades, an assortment of Tiffany cable souvenirs have surfaced at estate sales and auctions, where they fetch prices in the high hundreds of dollars and up. Whether the Tiffany & Co. band is still attached makes a big difference in the objects’ salability, says Manhattan antiques dealer George Glazer.<\/em><\/p>\n

“There are some [cable segments] that float around that don’t have the label in the middle, but people don’t want them as much, says Glazer, who estimates he’s sold 50 Tiffany’s cable souvenirs<\/a> out of his eponymous gallery on New York’s Upper East Side. “They have a lower value, even though they’re unquestionably identical and unquestionably authentic. People want the Tiffany name.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40066,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[7360],"product_tag":[479,670,9013],"class_list":{"0":"post-40062","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-press-clippings-exhibitions","7":"product_tag-book","8":"product_tag-manhattan","9":"product_tag-sideways","10":"post","11":"post-with-thumbnail","12":"post-with-thumbnail-large","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/40062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/40062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40072,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/40062\/revisions\/40072"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=40062"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=40062"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=40062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
