Up for sell is a piece from famed female newspaper publisher Helen K. Copley's estate. I purchased a lot of items at auction from the Copley family estate which I am now listing here on eBay. This is a trinket box marked "Designed exclusively for Copley Newspapers The 70th Annual Copley Conference February 23-26, 1998 Borrego Springs, California by TIFFANY & CO.". The box has the Copley Newspaper logo on top. It's 4" in diameter and 2.25" tall. It's in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or breaks. Helen Copley (1922-2004) took over the helm of her husband James S. Copley's San Diego newspaper empire with great success and ran it from 1973 until 2001. In the process she became one of the richest and most important women in America and was a giant presences in San Diego and Southern California. She was actually called "The Face of San Diego". When she died Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered the flag over the California state Capitol to half mast. Please Google "Helen K. Copley" and read her extensive obituary for her impressive lists of accomplishments and charitable deeds. It's a privilege to be able to offer a few of her items for sale.
