For the Elite Titanic collector. This museum piece is a pot from the residential mansion of John Jacob Astor IV, the richest man in the world at the time of his death on Titanic in 1912. The pot possibly cooked “Astor’s Last Supper” at home. It was found in a steamer trunk marked JJA belonging to his grandson Ivan Obolensky. The trunk and its contents were long forgotten about and abandoned by the family. 

Measuring 6” high, 5 1/8” In circumference, this small pot manufactured by L.F D&H company Wooster St New York and is made of copper with a tin coating. The outside has stamped “J.J. Astor 840 5,” as was the customary practice in wealthy kitchens of the time. It identifies the owners name, address and pot number to match the lid. The Astor Mansion was located at 840 5th Ave. in New York.

This new discovery somehow escaped notice through history and is now being offered to the public for the first time. The documentation and COA will be custom made for this relic. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Serious inquiries only.
