Elissa and I are also whimsey collectors and members of the Whimsey Club.
The Corning/Steuben pens made at the World’s Fair came in a souvenir glass tube (photo attached) I would guess that by now the tubes are rarer than the pens.
I’ve also attached a picture of a Steuben knife/letter opener in our collection in a copper red. Lon showed another example in the same form.
