We received five different Christmas gifts over the years, a Lou Jacobs wall clock, RBBB leaping tiger mirror, the Gunther painting (copy), a desk clock with GSOE lid and a set of polar bear bath room towels.
I still have everything but the towels. As I recall, today's picture regards the desk clock, it is round and the lid pivots around to expose the dial.

The Felds' holiday gifts were quite often clocks. In addition to the ones you mentioned, Buckles, to observe the 100th anniversay, they sent a handsome wristwatch crafted from a special pure silver medallion that was struck to observe the 100th.

As your letter shows, the clocks were generally from Spritzer+Fuhrmann, a very classy jeweler in Manhattan.
