Item Description
Sizes are 7/8” to 1.75”. All have working tapes with the exception of the early first example promoting the “Wilson Trolley Pole Catcher.” This is missing the metal end from the cloth tape and the spring is on the weak side. The piece however is extremely early. Underside showing the device which has an 1898 patent date has a few tiny craze marks in the celluloid. The front of the piece still displays very cleanly. Next is from Levin’s Auto Supply in California, followed by one for Skelly, followed by one for Gulf fuel oil, followed by Prest-O-Lite batteries. Next in a plastic and tire shape is for “Goodyear.” This is c. 1970s or 1980s while the others are 1950s and the first from early 1900s. All display cleanly except as noted.
