About this product
This NOS (New Old Stock) Ink Blotter features advertising for 'Mid-West Bottle Caps' and depicts 'Vermont Red Clover'. It is a vintage collectible item, specifically categorized as a 'Type of Advertising: Ink Blotter'. The blotter would have been used to absorb excess ink from fountain pens, serving a functional purpose while simultaneously promoting a brand. This piece is ideal for collectors of advertising memorabilia or antique office supplies, offering a glimpse into historical marketing practices.
Our take
As a collector of vintage ephemera, this NOS Ink Blotter is a neat find. The 'Mid-West Bottle Caps' advertising, paired with the 'Vermont Red Clover' imagery, gives it a wonderful historical charm. Functionally, it's an ink blotter, and while I appreciate its original purpose, its main appeal now is as a piece of advertising history. It's in new old stock condition, which is great for preserving its collectible value. At $12.99, it's a relatively affordable piece of vintage advertising, but it doesn't have any practical use in a modern, ink-free office setting. It's definitely more of a display item.
