From July 1948 to March 1951 Lucille Ball did a weekly radio show called My Favorite Husband along side Richard Denning as George and Liz Cooper. In January 1949 JELL-O became the sponsor of the popular series and created this promotional paperweight. Made of leather and filled with sand, it features an image of Lucille Ball with gold lettering that reads Sincerely, Lucille Ball (in Lucy’s signature) Star of “My Favorite Husband” Fridays – CBS – JELL-O. The reverse has the name Norman Rowe to whom this particular piece was given to. My Favorite Husband was the basis for I Love Lucy when it was adapted to television.
