ITALIAN MARBLE PAPERWEIGHT TO CONNECTICUT SENATOR DOC GUNTHER BRIDGEPORT REALTOR

Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS AT AN ANTIQUES MARKET IN CONNECTICUT.
IT IS STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC AND NEVER USED.  THE SIDE HAS A STICKER THAT STATES "FINE MARBLE BASE MADE IN ITALY."  THIS IS QUITE HEAVY FOR ITS SIZE AND WAS PRESENTED TO DOC GUNTHER BY THE GREATER BRIDGEPORT BOARD OF REALTORS, INC.
THE SELLER THAT I PURCHASED THIS FROM HAD A COLLECTION OF MANY RELICS THAT ONCE BELONGED TO GEORGE "DOC" GUNTHER, WHO WAS THE LONGEST SERVING STATE LEGISLATOR IN CONNECTICUT HISTORY (21st CONNECTICUT SENATE DISTRICT....SERVED FROM 1966 TO 2006).  UNFORTUNATELY, GUNTHER PASSED AWAY IN 2012.
DOC GUNTHER BECAME WELL KNOWN AS AN ENVIRONMENTALIST AND CONSERVATIONIST.   IT REALLY IS A UNIQUE PIECE AND RARE FIND.  NOTE: I ALSO HAVE A FEW OTHER DOC GUNTHER ITEMS/AWARDS/PRESENTATIONS,  SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ANY OTHERS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND WE CAN WORK OUT A GOOD PRICE.  I WILL BE LISTING EACH PIECE INDIVIDUALLY ON EBAY.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING! I WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO GO TO A GOOD HOME
