The Ed Sullivan Theater had 1200 seats back when Ed was doing his show there every week. If they ever passed out expensive snorkel sets to the audience, I doubt they did it a lot.
It does seem like something that might have gone to a guest on the show rather than the audience.

That was my thought too. Ed wasn't like Opra & apt to give everyone in the audience a car or a $20+ pen set. I'd have to agree that it was probably a gift for the guest or VIP.

A friend of mine received from the hospital where he worked a Waterman Philieas ballpoint for his 5 years of service (and the side story is to this is how I got involved in fountain pen collecting).
Also, it might not be off the wall if a new sponsor to the show was coming on that people in the audience receive the gift the first night of sponsorship.
Also, during the period of Ed Sullivan, how many seats were in the theater? Even though it was a 1200 theater, how many were for the show at the time of Ed?
I could not find it on http://www.edsulliva...ullivan-theater
I did find it was changed for Letterman to be 400 seats.

Wekiva, they could be there or also in the Sheaffer Archives. Who has access to that information?
No one presently. They were neglected for some time and need to be restored before anyone can go through them. They presently reside in the Sheaffer Museum.
