Representative Sales Kit

Tara Fifth Avenue jewelry was originally in New York, NY, but moved to Garden Grove, CA, in 1965. We know they sold some of their jewelry through direct sales representatives, either door-to-door or through home parties. However, we don’t know if that was their only methold of selling.

Delizza and Elster made some jewelry for Tara, as did other jewelry manufacturers. Tara may have manufactured some of their own jewelry, but we don’t know for sure. In a letter to sales representatives on Nov. 2, 1965, Fred Lebwohl mentions having separate office and factory facilities in their new CA location.

Thanks to Dottie Sheffield, ID jim-n-dottie, who has shared images of this wonderful 1965 Tara Fifth Avenue jewelry representative’s sales kit with RCJ. The kit included the black carrying case, some pieces of jewelry, several catalogs and other paper items.
