Huntington, Chanler, Cleveland, Roosevelt, J.P. Morgan, Foxhall Keene, and many others. In fine condition. Housed in rare original felt-lined wooden box with latches. An exceptional production. William d'Alton Mann was a businessman and newspaper and magazine publisher during the civil war. He developed the Mann Boudoir Car, a railroad sleeping car, and published the Mobile Register, The Smart Set, and Town Topics. Mann came to be known for his dubious practices. For example, he created the "blind item," a gossipy news story in which the details of a private happening are reported while the identities of the people involved are not revealed. Mann used this as blackmail to publicly threaten an individual into doing his will, lest Mann chooses to expose him.
