About This Item
Various Publishers, 1950s. Very Good. Circa late 1940s-50s. Vintage ink blotters featuring baseball in advertisements for local businesses, with a few that are blank. Blotters were useful during the heyday of fountain pens (devices that bled ink), placed behind the parchment to absorb the excess ink and keep safe any surfaces beneath. Two Baltimore companies are represented: O.F.H. Warner, a printing company, and Maryland Casualty Company (Harrisburg, PA, office), and two are blank. Both blanks feature kids playing ball, one appears to be Leyendecker work, but both illustrations are unsigned. Three are 3.25 x 6.25 inches, 1 is slightly shorter, card stock, printed on rectos, plain versos (3 blue). Very Good overall, light foxing, rubbing, toning, a few light bumps and small creases.
