My second blotter purchase, this is the 1951 model with pretty low mileage on it. I paid too much for it but, I cleaned up with the postcard and a coupon. The Postcard is very crisp and clean looks to be a 1940's card. Merry Christmas to all!!!

This one is in very good condition Tommy! Looks like new.
I don't have this one, 1951 is cool with Spriteboy hiding behind the bottle.
The postcard is one I haven't seen up close before,,, nice snags!
Thanks Perry, I think I need eight more blotters, then I'll frame them above my 7' long mirror behind my bar.
Thank You pickr !!
Man, you guys go gaga over common items. A $2 ink blotter. A $4 postcard and a $1 coupon (in this condition). Do you ever reread your comments to each other? Sounds like a cross between St. Elmo's Fire gang and The Breakfast Club goup (I know, both movies probably way before your time). I kid. Just interesting hearing you guys (pickrknows, Tommy1002, signaholic, Trevor and Daddy_Nobucks) give verbal pats on the butts on a daily basis...over common items like ink blotters and rusted signs. You guys entertain me!
Thanks Pop !!
