Moore repro blotters were
reprinted about 10-15 years ago and and look
very much like the originals since they were done from originals. We're
selling these repro Moore Pen Co blotters as a set of four. Each
blotter measures about 3.5 x 6.5 inches. Nice little collectible and a
lot less expensive than original Moore blotters, these you can actually
afford to use if you choose to do so! |

Vintage Calendar Blotter Insert - If you're into collecting old
blotters, this is an unusual insert that would have been packed in with
a batch of advertising blotters that I can only guess had dated
calendars on them. Cardboard inserts (not a blotter!), measures 3.75 x
8.75 which was a common blotter size. Sort of hard to date, but I'll
guess ca. 1930s since that was the same era as the blotters this was
found with. A neat little bit of ephemera that I'm sure was almost
always thrown away after the box of blotters was gone! |

Magnificent bright orange
Waterman advertising blotter that was
originally enclosed with a bottle of Waterman Ink. Advertises the 52
1/2
V fountain pen for $2.75 complete with a very detailed illustration and
gold nib shown. This is a thinner blotter than most, it was inserted
over the ink bottle into the box. Measures 2 x 7 inches. Never blotted
with, but the backside is "aged" white. While it's not bent, you can
see
where the blotter was curved into the ink box. Dates to mid-1920s,
maybe
a little older and is a hard to find blotter. |

Writing Fluid, Sheaffer had Skrip, etc etc. Blotter is ivory with blue
printing, measures 3.5 x 6.25 inches. Excellent condition. |

Albemarle Blotting Paper Sample Booklet - From the days when
advertising blotters were as common as business cards! Albemarle was
one of the major blotting paper makers. This is a sampler which a
printer would have showed you when you went in to order advertising
blotters. It holds 8 different enameled and high gloss blotting
samples. The high gloss enameled finish would be where the printed
advertisement went, the back side is high grade blotting paper.
Blotting samples included are in blue, white and bright pink, glossy
sides are white, metallic silver and metallic gold. Each sample
measures 3.25 x 6.25 inches. Each sheet of blotting paper is printed
with the name of the blotting, size, color and weight. Cover is
printed on an odd shade of blue-grey blotting in black ink, final page
is indexed card stock so that you could file this sample blotter
booklet with other paper sample booklets. Not dated, but I'll make a
guesstimate that it is from the 1950s since metallic blotting paper
was not common in the 20s, 30s, or 40s. The brass rivet in the corner
would not date it much past the 1950s. I may be off on the dates, but
not too far! The cover shows just a hint of fading on the left edge,
otherwise this blotter sample booklet is in excellent condition. |
