Item I.   Security and Issuer.

          This statement on Schedule 13D relates to
shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share (the
"Shares"), of Thackeray Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Thackeray" or the "Issuer"), the principal
executive offices of which are located at 20 East 53rd
Street, New York, New York 10022.

Item II.  Identity and Background.

          This statement is being filed jointly by a
group comprised of the Estate of Peter Sharp (the
"Estate") and Peter Sharp & Co., Inc., a New York
corporation (the "Company" and, together with the Estate,
the "Filing Persons").  The Estate is the sole
shareholder of the Company.  The agreement among the
Filing Persons with respect to the filing of this
statement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.  Mr. Peter J.
Sharp and the Company, as part of a larger group (the
"Group"), had previously filed a statement on Schedule
13D relating to the Shares on April 8, 1981 (together
with all amendments thereto, the "Group 13D").  On April
17, 1992, Mr. Sharp died.  Thereafter, the Estate and the
Company informed the other members of the Group of their
withdrawal from the Group.

          As described below in Item 3 hereof, the Estate
succeeded to Mr. Sharp's interest in its Shares upon Mr.
Sharps' death.  Except as described in this Statement,
the Filing Persons have no agreements, arrangements or
understandings regarding the holding or voting of their
Shares or any future purchases or dispositions of Shares.

          The business address of the Estate is c/o
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, 919 Third Avenue,
New York, New York 10022, Attention:  Edmund C. Duffy,
Esq.  The Estate is administered by three executors, Ms.
Caroline M. Sharp, Mr. Peter H. Sharp and Ms. Randall A.
Sharp.  Letters testamentary were issued on May 8, 1992.

          The Company is a New York corporation with its
principal office located at 1370 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York 10019.  John Sladkus, a director of
the Company, is a director of Thackeray.

          Schedule A attached hereto sets forth
additional information required by this Item 2 with
respect to (i) each executor of the Estate and (ii) each
director and executive officer of the Company.

          During the last five years, none of the Filing
Persons or the persons set forth on Schedule A has been
convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party
to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative
body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, Federal or State
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

Item III. Source and Amount of Funds or Other
          Consideration.

          The Shares owned by the Estate devolved to the
Estate, without consideration, upon the death of Mr.
Peter J. Sharp on April 17, 1994.  The Company received
its Shares as is set forth in the Group 13D.

Item IV.  Purpose of Transaction.

          Each of the Filing Persons intends to hold its
respective Shares for investment.  Subject to, among
other things, fiduciary duties, market conditions and
business developments, the Filing Persons may sell a
portion or all their respective Shares, or may purchase
additional Shares, from time to time in the open market,
in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.  The
Filing Persons reserve the right to change their intent
based on a continuing review of their investments and
future developments.

          Although the Filing Persons are filing the
statement jointly as a group, each reserves the right to
make independent investment decisions concerning its
ownership, voting and disposition of the Shares.

          Although the foregoing represents the range of
activities presently contemplated by the Filing Persons
with respect to Thackeray, it should be noted that their
possible activities are subject to change at any time. 
Except as set forth above, the Filing Persons have no
present plans or intentions which would result in or
relate to any of the transactions described in
subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this
statement.

Item V.   Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

          The Estate is the beneficial owner of 1,500,000
Shares, representing approximately 29.4% of the 5,107,401
Shares outstanding on August 3, 1992, as reported in
Thackeray's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Thackeray's
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1992 (the "Outstanding
Shares"), of which 562,500 Shares are held by the Company
and 937,500 are held by the Estate.  The Company is the
owner of 562,500 Shares, representing approximately 11%
of the Outstanding Shares.  The Filing Persons may
constitute a "group" within the means of the rules and
regulations issued under Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act.  Accordingly, each of the Filing Persons may be
deemed to beneficially own all Shares owned by any of the
Filing Persons.

          The Filing Persons have the direct power to
vote or direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the
disposition of Shares with respect to all the Shares
stated to be owned by the respective Filing Persons in
Item 5, as more fully described in Item 4 herein.

          There were no transactions in the Shares by the
Filing Persons during the past sixty days.

Item VI.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
          Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
          Issuer.

          The Shares are subject to a Registration
Agreement entered into by the predecessor of Thackeray. 
The Registration Agreement provides that the holders of
an aggregate of 250,000 of such Shares may require the
Issuer to register the Shares at the Issuer's expense. 
Although the parties to the Registration Agreement have
the right to request an unlimited number of
registrations, the Issuer is not obligated to file more
than one registration statement in any calendar year. 
The Issuer has no obligation to file a registration
statement if the sale of such Shares can be made pursuant
to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933.  The
Registration Agreement also requires the Filing Persons
to notify the Issuer prior to selling or transferring
Shares.

          Pursuant to statute and Mr. Sharp's will, the
executors of the Estate share the power to vote and
dispose of the securities held by the Estate.

          Except as described in this Statement, the
Filing Persons have no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with
any person with respect to any securities of Thackeray.
