That is a rare item.

I have a Studebaker paper weight and desk items. I have a collection of Studebaker promotional items on Webshots. Here is the link:

Man, you guys have some cool stuff out there in the way of desk items. I guess you gotta figure that people would be looking at this stuff all day long so the artists did really good jobs. Here is another paperweight in my stuff.

Here's one a little newer from the 60s. The color reminds me of my dad's brand new "Stardust Blue" 1958 Plymouth 9 passenger Sport Suburban station wagon.

Don't know how many of those early brass paper-weights were made but I've got the Chalmers. Missed a Dort on ebay a while back, and have seen Packard surface periodically. Here are a few more desk items from my collection.

Does anyone know how many different pieces are in this desk set?
I've got the Thermometer, calendar, folding book ends (two different styles), letter opener, coat hooks, and a letter holder. The hardest piece to find seems to be the thermometer.

Here is an ash tray that a great friend of mine has owned and I have coveted for 35 years or so. He sent it to me today. Man, was I ever surprised!!! Thanks, Tommy.
