Peter Fonda's Engraved Cartier Cigarette Case
<B>Peter Fonda's Engraved Cartier Cigarette Case from Ralph Fields.</B></I> In the Fall of 1961, at the age of 22, Peter Fonda made his Broadway debut in the play <I>Blood, Sweat, and Stanley Poole,</B></I> starring opposite Darrin McGavin, Peg Murray, and John McMartin. In a 1997 interview, the actor later recalled: "I stepped onto the stage of the Morosco Theater in 1961 for a Wednesday matinee of <I>Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole.</B></I> I was in front of all the blue-haired ladies who come up from Philadelphia, and I could hear them murmuring: 'He looks like his father.' " This sterling silver Cartier cigarette case was presented to Fonda as a gift from producer Ralph Fields; the inside lid is engraved with the date "Oct. 5, 1961" (the day after the play opened) and "B.S. & S.P.", as well as the inscription: "Peter -- it was mostly you -- Thanks, Ralph". In Very Fine condition with some mild scratches and wear to the inside, and some tarnishing to the outside.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Larg (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
