Aurora, Illinois: The Strathmore Company, ca. 1940s-1950s..

"Educational Toy Sensation!
NO Dust, No Dirt, No Chalk, No Erasers!”

Easel-style tablet, 18 x 12 inches. With 10 pages of letters and drawing for copying. This example is complete with the wooden stylus and original packaging. The box has a variety of large tears and tape repairs, loss to one of the inside flaps. Large graphic is neatly intact. The comb binding is still stiff and printed leaves are clean. Expected discoloration and slight puckering to the films, still functional (if a little finicky). Minor rubbing to tablet and abrasion to first page, Very Good or better. Pull-out stand appears unused. An example in the Henry Ford collection dates the object 1937-1946, but may be as late as the 1950s.
