Box of Killinger Hi-Jacs coasters, circa 1950s
Scope and Contents
Coasters originally given to the Rosenthal family as a house gift in Franklin Square, then given to Barbara by her mother.
Rosenthal describes this object as “a box of Killinger Hi-Jacs coasters from the 1950s, which is a good example of how things are too good to be used so they are saved. Saved, saved until they are a piece of junk. This is happening to me all too much.”
