Specialist note

Cecil Turner showed us a photo of this waiter during one of her annual trips to New York. We bought it because we liked its shape and have used it a great deal ever since. Subsequently, we purchased a smaller waiter of the same period from James Robinson (No. 437) and chose a much smaller one (No. 461) from my mother's estate in 1960. - David Rockefeller. (D. Fennimore et al., p. 391).
