Shown on the other side of the forum, but with a recent original photo pickup, it renewed my interest in ink blotter collecting. When I saw this photo go up from Henry Yee's most recent ebay auctions I immediately recognized it. Even though I said (to myself) no more photos, how could I resist? I had to have the photo, which could have been taken specifically for the McKibben Jacket company. Would love to see any baseball ink blotters members would care to share... I think they are great collectibles from a bygone era.....but then again, I am usually off on a lone island of collecting.....

Be it Annis Furs or Ink Blotters - you are rarely alone in this hobby. A few blotters:

Your eyes didn't deceive you. It looks like a typo to me....and another early Ruth blotter...
