The Story & Design

This exceptional Art Deco industrial paperweight captures a fascinating chapter of mid-century American manufacturing. Produced as a high-end executive promotional piece for The Jaeger Machine Company of Columbus, Ohio, it seamlessly marries the sensual, fluid elegance of a classic streamline nude figurine with robust industrial engineering.
