Item Description
3.5" dia. with three layers of felt designed for wiping ink from pen points. There are some ink marks around the outer edge of the beige color layer but overall the piece has seen little use.

Fine Footwear Stylish & Perfect Fitting." Curl has name of maker W&H along with "Pat. Applied For" making this one of the very earliest celluloids designed for use on a pen wipe. c. 1900s. See additional shoe items for Buster Brown in the Entertainment section. Celluloid is Mint. First we've seen.
