Item Description
Starting at the top of our photo the first item is a celluloid flip for "Schaeffer/Best In The West." This is followed by a button for the same brand. The ten buttons are 1.5" or smaller. In row two, #1 has a .25" craze line, in row two, #2 has both stains and bends, in row three, #4 this piece is a vintage paper but more recently made into a pin-back. Next come a pair of cello memo booklets each 2.5" tall. Next is 2" cello case advertising "The Autopiano" which contains early band-aids. Next are five celluloid bookmarks. The beautiful Snowy Owl is 2.75" tall and the largest is the one showing a pansy at 5.25" tall. There is also a celluloid 6" letter opener with reverse add "The New Edison Phonograph" with prices between "$30 to $6,000.00." There are also six celluloid diecut bookmarks each 2.5" tall. These are among the earliest pieces in the group with some being from the 1890s. Next are three celluloids for "Mahlin Pianos." These are 3.5" calendar cards. There are two different dealers for 1902 and the third item is for 1906. Next are a pair of celluloid calendar cards for "Standard Player Action." One of these is 1916 and the other is 1919/1920. Last is a cello calendar card for "Bogart Piano Co." This is from 1917 and has nice art nouveau design. Except as noted pieces are Exc. to Mint. An outstanding lifetime collection that would take many decades to duplicate.
