Three of my latest ebay buys. 1939, 1942, and 1956 blotters. Two were BIN and one was an easy auction win, I must have been the only person without it, lol. The '56 "Friendliest Drink" is one of my favorites, now that I have the blotter, I need the bigger carboard sign as well. the last pic is all my blotters, patiently awaiting framing.
