    Description

    I am Selling a very rare and 1 of a kind Souvenir bamboo & paper fan advertising compliments of Frankenheimer & Lightner House Furnishing Store in Riverside California, dates from the 1890's. The Fan measures 15" x 10", constructed of bamboo with a
    Asian themed paper, still even has the original stock number tag attached round, paper has some wear but still displays nice, expected after almost 125 years. Here's some history of the company:
    Felix Lightner & Philip Frankenheimer
    Felix Lightner, Samuel’s younger brother, took his place in the partnership in Lightner & Rosenthal.
    In 1886, Emil Rosenthal retired and sold his share to Philip Frankenheimer.
    Felix Lightner married Therese Frankenheimer of San Francisco, his partner’s sister, in 1887.
    They all lived together in a grand house in Riverside.
    Both the Lightners and Frankenheimers had family ties to Harris Newmark of Los Angeles.
    In 1912, the two partners closed their business with a big sale and moved to Los Angeles, where they had purchased the J. R. Land Dry Goods Company.
    So ended one of the first retail establishments of Riverside.
    Thanks For Looking!!!
