Vintage MGM Studios Leo The Lion Bronze Paperweight AC Rehberger Co. For Sale

Offered here is a museum-quality, original vintage cast bronze \"Leo The Lion\" Paperweight produced by the renowned A.C. Rehberger Co. of Chicago during the golden era of Hollywood.

Commissioned exclusively as high-end corporate presentation and executive gift pieces for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM Studios), these heavy bronzes were never sold to the general public. Instead, they were distributed strictly to elite studio executives, major theater moguls, and high-ranking dignitaries, featuring the iconic \"The Greatest Star on the Screen\" legend cast along the base.

Provenance & Pedigree:This specific example carries exceptional behind-the-scenes provenance, originating directly from the desk and private estate collection of a prominent Las Vegas hotel and casino executive whose career spanned the legendary golden decades of the 1970s through the 2000s on the Strip. It is a tangible artifact bridging Hollywood studio glamour with classic mid-century Las Vegas high-roller hospitality.

Condition & Details:Crafted with solid, heavy cast bronze boasting a rich, aged patina that only decades of careful preservation can develop on a green felt base. The casting detail from Rehberger remains sharp, structural, and substantial—making it an essential centerpiece for collectors of cinema memorabilia, vintage Americana, or classic Vegas casino history.
