This is a souvenir bookend from the opening of the Stevens hotel in Chicago, May 2, 1927. The Stevens hotel has some history behind it which I've read about. It is now a Hilton. I'm not sure what its made of, but interested in knowing the value. Thanks in advance.
" The hotel was developed by James W. Stevens, his son Ernest, and their family who ran the Illinois Life Insurance Company and owned the Hotel La Salle. The Stevens featured 3,000 guest rooms, cost approximately $30 million to construct (more than ten times the cost of Yankee Stadium only few years earlier), and boasted of a virtual "City Within a City". The Stevens housed its own bowling alley, barber shop, rooftop miniature golf course (the "High-Ho Club"), movie theater, ice cream shop, and drug store.[5] The first registered guest was Vice President Charles G. Dawes.[6]"
