A Terminal Tower Souvenir Collection: Octagonal letter opener.

At a height of 708 feet atop 250 feet of caissons, Cleveland's Terminal Tower, also known as Cleveland Union Terminal, was the tallest building in North America, outside New York City, until 1964.

Completed in 1930, the Terminal served as a major hub for passenger rail service in the Midwest.

These Terminal Tower souvenirs are charming examples of the romance of train travel, and relics of a desire to take with us a sweet reminder of where we have been.
