Rip Van Winkle "Old Rip Salt" Jefferson Island Advertising Paperweight
A charming vintage advertising collectible produced for the Jefferson Island Salt Company of Louisiana. This small bust depicts Rip Van Winkle as portrayed by the celebrated 19th-century actor Joseph Jefferson, who famously popularized the character on stage and owned an estate on the very salt dome where the company operated — giving this piece an unusually rich provenance for an advertising item.
