1945 Pepsi Ink Blotter - Tempty Tasty - Double Dot - Used with fountain pens

Description

1945 Pepsi Ink Blotter - Tempty Tasty - Double Dot - Used with fountain pens - size 7 1/4" x 3 1/2".  The blotter is in excellent condition for 75 years of age!  There are some very tiny discoloration "dots" on a couple locations, and an extremely tiny "ding" on the corner of the cardboard under the C-131 print.  The reverse side of the blotter is in really superb shape, with one area at the top that maybe was an old water mark.
According to the 2002 book by Bob Stoddard, entitled "The Encyclopedia of Pepsi Cola Collectibles", 'blotters have gone the way of the fountain pen.  Once a necessity on every desk, the invention of the ballpoint pen made these obsolete.  Blotters were made of heavy paper and used to blot ink from fountain pens.  This makes these collectibles rare and valuable".  In that book from 2002, the rarity was rated "C" and valued at .  Opening bid is less than that amount.
I
am selling my entire Pepsi collection, with about 100 more items to list.... radios, 3D cardboard girls, syrup tins, vintage clocks, trolley signs, paper cups, etc, so please be on the lookout for more great items in the next month++.  All items have been preciously stored away for the last (up to) 16 years and it's time to pass them on to someone who can continue the Pepsi love!
Shipping is cost dependent upon your location.  I will combine shipping where possible, so if you win multiple items, please wait for an invoice before paying. I provide feedback upon receipt of payment, and I hope you do the same upon receipt of your item.  Thank you for looking and good luck on this item!
