According to U.S. Federal Census records, he operated a meat market and worked as a butcher in Longview, Gregg County, Texas. The nickname purportedly came from his son, both a football player and coach for the University of Kansas Jayhawks. Fambrough died on October 21, 1975.

FOUR VOLUMES OF PAOLETTI'S
FOUR VOLUMES OF PAOLETTI'S PLASTER CAMEOS, ROMEPresented in faux marble and parchment faux books, each spine marked Paoletti Impronte, each double sided, containing numbered plaster cameos with a handwritten description of each.
Comprising:
Four volumes of Uomini Illustri
10 1/4 x 6 1/2 in.
Note: Creating casts from engraved gems or cameos was a common practice in ancient times, and was particularly popular among Roman connoisseurs in the 18th century. When such plaster casts became sought-after souvenirs for Grand Tour travelers, several shops opened which specialized in them. These souvenir casts not only represented carved gems, but also contemporary and ancient sculptures and monuments. They were often mounted in faux book bindings, as in the present offered five lots. The Scotsmen James and William Tassie were among the most prolific casters, as were Bartolomeo Paoletti (1757-1834) and his son Pietro (1801-1847).
The Paoletti firm advertised themselves in Count Hawks Le Grice's Guide, Walks through the Studii of the Sculptors at Rome , (1841), as follows: Paoletti begs to inform the public that he has arranged a collection of impressions (Impronte in Scajola), of many of the works in sculpture executed by distinguished artists....Although the Impromte are but miniature copies; yet they exhibit all the fidelity and beauty of the original, and convey to the eye a better idea of sculpture works of art than the most finished engravings.
The Paolettis, whose studio was centrally located on the Piazza di Spagna in Rome until 1847, enjoyed a stellar reputation, and counted among their clients Catherine the Great of Russia, and Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany. The firm continued to do business after the death of Pietro until at least 1865. Examples of Paoletti's casts are conserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, The Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut and The Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, New Jersey.
Condition
Minor wear, scuffing to the spines and covers with losses at the corners. Minor staining on some cameos. Rippling and minor staining to interior paper trays. Some flaps don't sit flat.Not withstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.

STEUBEN GOLD AURENE STOCKING
STEUBEN GOLD AURENE STOCKING DARNERDESCRIPTION: Steuben gold Aurene stocking darner.
Whimsy, Iridized lead glass, Open pontil.
Reference:
Shown at page 13 of Objects of Desire: The Art of Frederick Carder by Alan Shovers.
See in Fig. 8.20, p. 185 of Dimitroff's, Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass. Glassworkers throughout history are known to have created their own pieces at the factory, but on their own time. Most glass houses freely allowed workers the opportunity to exercise their creativity in this way. These works, often referred to as "Whimsies" include paper weights, stocking darners, letter openers. Carders workers were no exception.
See also, Plate X of The Glass of Frederick Carder by Paul V. Gardner.
A Collectors should realize that these products of the glassblower’s spare time were not normally placed in the lehring ovens. They are, therefore, subject to unusual stress and may actually disintegrate without any provocation whatsoever. P. 23 of A Guide to Colored Steuben Glass 1903-1933, Book Two by Ericson.
An iridescent glass as fine as Tiffany's was introduced in 1904 by Frederick Carder, an Englishman who became associated with Thomas G. Hawks of Corning, New York. Mr. Carder and Mr. Hawks formed the Steuben Glass Works, now a part of the Corning Glass Company.
Aurene was first blown and then coated in the desired coloring. In form, it was more classical than Tiffany's or possibly it should be described as less arty. In fact, certain of this ware was modern looking, more in keeping with present-day taste. While Mr. Carder did make some flowered pieces similar to Tiffany's, he was not so given to elaborate or peculiarly-shaped objects.
Frederick Carder, like Tiffany, designed all his own glass. Mr. Carders Aurene although not advertised was handled by salesmen. As a result, it did not become so well know as Favrile. Tiffany's glass was produced in quantity and therefore turns up more frequently today than the scarcer Aurene. Pgs. 93-95, Nineteenth-Century Art Glass by Ruth Webb Lee.
