A marvelous old advertising relic from The Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn, in very good vintage conditionMeasuring 2.5" x 1 3/4", with inner pad in possession of 11 sheets of parchment type paper (designed to hold stamps)along with 3 heavier sheets - one black, one white, one flesh toned
Appears backside of notepad originally had a celluloid cover which is no longer attachedAt back, very thin flap at top shows 3/4" long separation, which an expert could delicately glu...e, along with an 1/8" section of celluloid that has chipped off of same flapMinor imperfections considering age, and that this relic will not be put in use to store stamps, per se, but rather, handled with care as it's likely one of only a handful in existence. A really delightful piece (:
