*WELCOME TO MY PRIVATE MUSEUM! FINE & UNIQUE ITEMS HAND SELECTED FOR THEIR RARITY & EXTRAORDINARY VALUE! PLEASE NOTE; I AM ALSO OFFERING OTHER WONDERFUL ANTIQUES, COLLECTIBLES, OLD SILVER PIECES, FINE ESTATE JEWELRY, VINTAGE GOODIES AND ART! SIMPLY CLICK; "SEE OTHER ITEMS" TO VIEW MY OTHER TREASURES FROM DECADES OF HIGH END HOARDING THIS EXTRAORDINARY 100% AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL VINTAGE GUCCI CREATION HAS SAT ON MY LATE HUSBAND'S DESK SINCE THE LATER 1970's DURING THE HEIGHT OF GUCCI'S CREATIVE GENIUS. I BOUGHT THIS FOR HIM IN 1977 AT THE HUGE GUCCI STORE IN BEVERLYS HILLS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY AND WANT TO MENTION THAT HE WAS FLOORED (NOT FROM KNOWING IT COST A SMALL FORTUNE) WHEN HE UNWRAPPED THE GIFT WRAP AND FIRST SAW IT AS HE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO FIND A PAPER (OR NOTE PADS) HOLDER THAT WOULD ACCOMODATE FULL LEGAL SIZED DOCUMENTS THAT WAS SO ELEGANT AND MADE BY GUCCI. IT WAS A REAL HUNT, 4 DECADES AGO, TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING SO UNIQUE UNLIKE TODAY WHEN ONE JUST TYPES THEIR DESIRE INTO A SEARCH BOX ON THEIR COMPUTER. BACK THEN, I HAD ALREADY BEEN TO EVERY FINE STATIONARY STORE AND THERE WERE MANY MORE 40 YEARS AGO THAN TODAY, DEPARTMENT STORE AND SEVERAL OTHER BOUTIQUES WHEN A LADY AT NEIMAN MARCUS WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SUGGEST MY GOING TO GUCCI'S. IF YOU WEREN'T AROUND IN THE 1970'S AND SHOPPING AT GUCCI STORES, HERE'S A BIT OF MY RECOLLECTION; GUCCI'S HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PLACE FOR SHOES BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT BACK IN THOSE DAYS, GUCCI'S WAS JUST ABOUT THE MOST STYLISH, INNOVATIVE AND DISTINCTIVE DESIGN HOUSE TO CARRY UNIQUE, 1 OF A KIND AND CREATIVE HIGH END HOME ACCESSORIES THAT ARE NOW CONSIDERED EXTREMELY VALUABLE AND DESIRABLE COLLECTOR'S PIECES! TODAY, GUCCI'S IS STILL BEST KNOWN FOR SELLING THE FINEST SHOES BUT THEY'VE RECONCENTRATED THEIR DESIGN EFFORTS FROM HIGH END HOME WARES TO PRIMARILY CLOTHING, HANDBAGS, JEWELRY AND WATCHES. HOWEVER, BACK THEN, THEY SOLD ELEGANT DESK ACCESSORIES, BAR WAR, TABLE ARTICLES, HOUSE WARES, CHINA AND EVEN FURNITURE AND LIGHTING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY ELEGANT LIFESTYLE WAS QUITE DIFFERENT WHEN MY DEAR HUSBAND WAS WITH ME. WELL, I'M NOW WELL INTO MY 80'S AND MY DAYS OF LUXERIOUS LIVING AND ENTERTAINING SOME OF HOLLYWOOD'S MOST FAMOUS NAMES ARE LONG SINCE PAST SO I AM HOPING A WEALTHY ADMIRER OF THE GLORIOUS DESIGNS THAT WERE FIRST BEGUN IN 1921 BY GUCCIO GUCCI WILL ENJOY, CARE FOR AND APPRECIATE THIS HANDSOME VINTAGE GUCCI DESK ACCESSORY JUST AS MY DEAR HUSBAND HAD FOR MANY YEARS. I BOUGHT IT FOR HIM AS I KNEW HE'D LOVE THE CLEAN LINES AND MODERNISTIC SHAPED DETAILS AS WELL AS THE TOUCH OF GOLD THAT REALLY INTENSIFIES THE RICH BROWN COLOR OF THE EXQUISITE LEATHER THAT ARE ALL ASPECTS SO TRADITIONAL TO THE FAB 70's DESIGNS OF GREAT GUCCI ORIGINALS. THIS UNIQUE DESK ITEM WAS CREATED TO HOLD FULL LEGAL SIZED COPY PAPER, LEGAL LENGTH STATIONARY OR LARGE LEGAL PADS. MY HUBBY USED IT FOR REAL ESTATE CONTRACTS AND OTHER IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS THAT WOULDN'T FIT IN A STANDARD FILE BUT IT CAN ALSO SIT UPRIGHT, AGAINST A WALL TO HOLD BILLS, INVOICES VANILLA ENVELOPES AND EVEN MAGAZINES. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL THAT I EVEN THOUGHT OF FIGURING A WAY TO HANG IT ON THE WALL. IT IS FROM AN ERA WHEN GUCCI WAS USING THE FINEST OF ITALIAN MATERIALS, LEATHERS AND OLD WORLD CRAFTSMANSHIP. THE ALL SOLID WOOD BODY OF THE PAPER TRAY IS ENTIRELY WRAPPED ON THE INSIDE AND EXTERIOR WITH A RICHLY TONED DEEP BROWN COLOR FINE GRAINED LEATHER AND FINISHED WITH STURDY HAND STITCHED SADDLE THREADS (SO TRADITIONAL TO GUCCI'S FAMOUS "STIRRUP" MOTIFS). IT IS FURTHER ACCENTED WITH A SUMPTUOUS BRILLIANT YELLOW GOLD METALLIC BAND OR STRAP THAT IS CENTERED BY THEIR EASILY IDENTIFIABLE, FAMOUS AND TIMELESSLY CLASSIC; "GG" EMBLEM. EVEN THE UNDERSIDE BOTTOM IS COVERED IN THE SAME ELEGANT AND SOFT LEATHER TO PROTECT THE WOOD SURFACE OF A DESK FROM ANY POSSIBILITY OF WEAR, DAMAGE OR SCRATCHING. THE BOTTOM ALSO HAS THE FAMOUS GUCCI MARKS IMPRESSED WITH GOLD INTO THE LEATHER THAT READS; "MADE IN ITALY BY GUCCI". IT'S IMPORTANT TO SEE THE WORD "BY" INSTEAD OF "FOR" GUCCI AS PART OF A HALLMARKING AS TODAY MANY RETAILERS SUCH AS TIFFANY'S, CARTIER'S AND OTHERS DON'T ACTUALLY MAKE THE PRODUCTS THEY SELL. THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TOP MAKER STATING "MADE BY" THEM AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING "MADE FOR" THEM AS AN ORIGINAL GUCCI MADE AND DESIGNED BY GUCCI'S CRAFTSMEN IS FAR RARER AND MORE VALUEABLE THAN AN ITEM MADE BY SOME SMALL UNKNOWN COMPANY AND ONLY RETAILED AT GUCCI'S. THIS IS AN IMPRESSIVELY SIZED GUCCI HEIRLOOM WITH AN INTERIOR (WHERE THE PAPER OR LEGAL PADS FIT) MEASUREMENT OF 9.5 INCHES WIDE, 15 INCHES LONG AND 2 INCHES DEEP. THE MAXIMUM EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS ARE; 10.25 INCHES WIDE, 15.5 INCHES LONG AND 2.25 INCHES DEEP. I'VE LOOKED AT EVERY VINTAGE GUCCI DESK SET AND TRAY ACCESSORY THAT HAS BEEN SOLD BY VINTAGE SPECIALTY DEALER, AUCTION HOUSES OR THROUGH EBAY AND NONE OF THEM OFFERED THIS VERY RARE LEGAL SIZED DESK TRAY. HOWEVER, GUCCI DOES STILL MAKE A TRAY THAT'S AVAILABLE AS A WEB EXCLUSIVE BUT IT IS VERY PLAIN BEING OF A SIMPLE MAHOGANY AND LINED WITH SOMETHING CALLED "MICROGUCCISSIMA SUEDE" AND "STINGRAY" THAT MEASURES 11" BY 11" AND 1.5" TALL WHICH COSTS A MERE $1180. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE NEW GUCCI TRAY (PICTURED BELOW) IS A BIT BORING AND HAS NOT A SINGLE STUNNING GOLD ADORNMENT OR FAMOUS "GG" LOGO THAT LETS OTHERS KNOW IT'S AN ORIGINAL GUCCI MASTERPIECE. REGARDING CONDITION; THIS IS A VERY WELL CARED FOR VINTAGE HEIRLOOM THAT'S BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR BUT DOES SHOW A FEW MINISCULE FLAWS AND OTHER SMALL IMPERFECTIONS AS ONE WOULD EXPECT ON ANY VINTAGE TREASURE. IT IS PERFECLY PRESENTABLE AND GIFTABLE WITH NO UNEXPECTED DAMAGES. I HOPE THE NEW OWNER OF THIS CLASSIC VINTAGE GUCCI LARGE, LEGAL SIZED STORAGE TRAY SHALL ENJOY AND MAKE GOOD USE OF IT JUST AS MY HUSBAND HAD FOR MANY YEARS. IT'S A TRUE MUSEUM TREASURE THAT SHALL ONLY BECOME RARER AND MORE VALUEABLE AS TIME GOES ON. AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY AUCTIONS. YOU CAN ALSO KEEP TRACK OF MY ITEMS BY ADDING THEM TO YOUR "WATCH LIST" (SEE ABOVE RIGHT CORNER JUST ABOVE "SELLER INFORMATION") OR YOU CAN USE THE "BUY IT NOW" OPTION TO BECOME THE INSTANT OWNER OF THIS MARVELOUS GUCCI VINTAGE ORIGINAL. THERE'S A "MAKE OFFER" TAB AS WELL SHOULD YOU REQUIRE A BETTER PRICE. MY GOAL IS TO FIND THE PERFECT NEW HOME FOR ALL MY FABULOUS HEIRLOOMS AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT GETTING TOP DOLLAR FOR MY FAVORITE POSSESSIONS SO, PLEASE BE FAIR WITH ANY OFFERS AND IF YOU LIKE THIS ITEM, BE CERTAIN TO VIEW THE PAIR OF; VINTAGE MARK CROSS LEATHER & GOLD BOOKENDS THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT WITH THIS GUCCI PAPER HOLDER. I HAVE LISTED IT IN A SEPERATE AUCTION SO, JUST CLICK "SEE OTHER ITEMS" (ALSO LOCATED AT THE ABOVE RIGHT) TO VIEW ALL MY OTHER GOODIES. THANK YOU & HAPPY EBAYING!
