I have been TRYING to buy small lately lol, found these blotters today at an antique show. 7 total, 3 are french, only 2 are from US the rest are Canadian. Prob not as many Canadian blotters made compared to US so i'm assuming these ones are hard to find? the one im not possitive but looks like its in its original plastic case check picture 4. Not sure if these originally came in plastic cases this is the first time i have found one like this. Ended up paying 75$ for all 7, so approx 11$ each, figured thats what they usually go for on ebay plus shipping so in eyes i did fine.
Switched the pictures this is my blotter collection with a couple no-drip bottle protectors and a 6-pack coupon to fill in the gaps.

You done good Trev. Some of those foreign versions are actually worth more than the USA versions. That COLD and Policeman blotters are probably worth a total of $50-$60. You have a great start to an ink blotter collection. I love ink blotters because A) they're still affordable and B) they look like mini billboards. Fairly easy to start a collection of ink blotters. There's a few early ones (1930s) on eBay right now that I'm watching. I myself own about 25 blotters.
Thanks Ray did not realize the policeman and COLD one was worth that much. i like these too, they are very affordable and it reminds me of mini cardboard signs lol. Any idea about the blotter in picture 4? wondering if that case is original? all together i now have 10 so im catching up to you Ray lol jj.
Nice work Trevor! That antique show turned out to be a great trip for ya, congrats!
Good grab for sure!!! The "COLD" and "Friendliest Drink" are my favorites. I would like to get the signs that match the blotters
Thanks Tom, the policeman and the french have a coke are my two fav, just wish they were in english.... oh well.
Here's the USA Policeman blotter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1938-CARDBOARD-COCA-COLA-ADVERTISING-SIGN-POLICE-OFFICER-/150771135737
checked out that link that one seems a little fishy. only says made in USA in bottum left corner i thought it usually said litho in USA copyright 19__, coca cola company. Also the printing seems odd the one i have is alot clearer, maybe bad photo?
thanks officialfuel, and mtg75
Love the Cold Refreshment one. Don't run across them too often. Blotters are always cool and I agree, most very affordable.
Thanks pickrknows, pickingupbones, spriteboy42, and packrat-place. I just finished putting them all in my display case ill post a picture of all my blotters together.
What is that, that your blotters are displayed in Trev?
