Triple-lobed silver bowl with curved panels in a reposed floral and urn design, measuring 4.5? in diameter and 2.25? tall, engraved on the bottom, “Presented to Colonel Henry C. Breckenridge by Charles A. Lindbergh, Mexico City, Mexico,” and stamped “Mendoza” and “Mexico.” Overall toning, otherwise fine condition. Lindbergh befriended Breckenridge in 1927, when Breckenridge served as an advisor for the famous transatlantic flight. He later became a Wall Street attorney with Lindbergh as a client—Lindbergh’s first call went to him in the moments following his son’s kidnapping in 1932. Perhaps more fascinating is this piece’s association with Mexico; Lindbergh first flew there in December 1927, on a goodwill tour with the US ambassador to the country, Dwight Morrow—his future father-in-law. He arrived in Mexico City on December 13, where the president presented him with a key to the city and offered the following words of praise: ‘I consider it, above all, as a valuable embassy of good will that North America is sending, who I’m sure that by sending us their highest representative of youth, will and heroism of the United States, did it to produce a spiritual and material get-together even more strong between both countries.’
