Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney (1899-1992)

Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, known both as “C.V.” and “Sonny,” was a distinguished figure whose life embodied the legacy of two of America’s most storied families—the Vanderbilts and the Whitneys. The son of businessman and Thoroughbred breeder Harry Payne Whitney and his wife, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, founder of the Whitney Museum of American Art, he inherited a deep connection to both industry and art. A financier, philanthropist, and passionate horseman, Whitney carried forward the family’s celebrated tradition in Thoroughbred racing. Beyond the racetrack, he was a co-founder and the first president of Pan American Airways and a co-founder of Selznick International, which produced such enduring classics as A Star Is Born (1937) and Gone with the Wind (1939).

Marylou Whitney (1925-2019)

In 1958, C.V. married Marie Louise Schroeder Hosford, who would become known to the world as Marylou Whitney—a sparkling presence affectionately known as the “Queen of Saratoga” and a tireless advocate for the sport of racing. Together, they revitalized Saratoga’s summer season, entertaining with warmth and flair at Cady Hill and the Canfield Casino, where Marylou’s legendary parties blended elegance, humor and excitement. Following Cornelius’s death in 1992, Marylou continued her deep involvement in the racing community and later married John Hendrickson, with whom she shared her passion for philanthropy and horse racing, in particular the backstretch community and the National Museum of Racing

Works well.
Color: Black
As described, but I think I should have gone with the larger one. Works well and does the job. No runny soapy water on the kitchen counter.

Sponge Holder
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black, Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black
This sponge holder is a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in keeping the sink area clean and organized. The suction cup holds firmly to the side of the sink, so it doesn’t slide around or fall off like cheaper options. It easily fits both a sponge and a steel scrubber, keeping them elevated and allowing them to dry quickly, which helps prevent odors and bacteria buildup. The open wire design is especially useful because it allows water to drain instead of pooling at the bottom. Installation is quick and requires no tools—just press it onto a clean surface and you’re good to go. It also keeps the countertop clutter-free, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s durable, functional, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great value for anyone looking to keep their kitchen sink area tidy and hygienic.

Nice if the suction cups wouldn't have been deformed
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Brushed Metal
Update: The one I received had two suction cups deformed and wouldn't stick to the side of the sink. Realized this after placing it. Unreturnable. Perfect size. A little wider than the rest. Replacing my last one that didn't rust for years. It was fine except the hard water made the suction cups not stick otherwise it was lasting for years.
