Heavy silver metal holder with cobalt blue bowl glass insert. The ornate silver holder has a hallmark on the bottom but I haven't been able to identify and the heavy bowl has a unique design with a ridged bottom. I don't know what the metal is made of?
Picture passed down to my husband by his grandfather. It was given to his grandfather by Jim Roosevelt himself, son of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They became friends during World War II. The writing on the back of the picture says: "I thought you might like to have a picture of my father signing the social security act". Signed Jim Roosevelt.
