A couple litte ebay finds from the Great White North. I'm not sure if they are blotters or just litho cards. They are smaller than regular blotters and the cardstock is not as thick. Any info is appreciated.

Hey Tommy, I've seen these a-lot on e-bay, just have'nt seen them in person any-where else, but i'm sure if the seller was reputable that they're good ones. Now the hunt for the posters to match!!
Thanks packrat, walksoftly and Bernie. They are very clean, I don't doubt they are legit. I've got some posters in mind, but sorry B, they aren't Canadian, lol
Yes, these are ink blotters. Listed in Pet. 10th edition for $25 and $20 each. Ink blotters aren't even shown in the 11th edition and the 12th edition, these aren't shown. That's what I don't like about Petretti guides; he omits items from edition to edition so you can't always see the price change throughout the years.
Hey thanks Ray, I was wondering what they might be worth. Honey did real well on them then, they are very minty!!
I've not seen these before, very nice! Your blotter collection is impressive Tommy. A great way to collect these images without taking up too much space. I have the two small ones that came with the '37 pencil set. Based on what I'm seeing with yours, these are sweet little "posters" and I plan on seeking them out in the future. Thanks for sharing them. I learn a lot from you guys.
You scored there Tommy! Great 50s/60s pieces.
Does'nt it look like them Canuks know how to throw a party!! Must be SUPERBOWL,or maybe GREYCUP!! The French won is even a little racey for the day, almost showin knee!! Wild!!
Thanks Dave and P-man, jameyrd too!! Dave, all my blotters were found by my honey on ebay, she used Petretti's as a guide and wouldn't pay more than 1/4 of value. She done good, I think.
See this is what my wifey does for me.
Thanks 50's/50's !!
