• Weehawken Griffin

  Three photographs, taken in 1979, one black and white, two in color. This zinc griffin, manufactured by the J. W. Fiske Company, used to perch on top of the rounded stone pier at the corner of Eldorado Place and Boulevard East. It is thought to have been a remnant of a possible pair from the entrance to the Eldorado Amusement Park, but we have no documentation to support this theory. It does appear in a photograph from the Eldorado Realty Company Prospectus, which is dated about 1900. The griffin sold for $7,800 at a Christie's auction in 2006. The new owner has a blog about her passion for collecting zinc statuary. Although much of the information she has about the statue is incorrect, there is a very clear photograph of the Weehawken griffin. See external link below for url. These photos were taken by Zack Gaulkin.
