About this product

This is an original ink blotter from the 1940s, originating from the United States. Produced by the Fairmont Creamery Co, it features advertising for their Cash Market and Better Cream. The blotter showcases a yellow and red color scheme and is themed around dairy, serving as a genuine piece of vintage advertising ephemera. It’s an authentic item, not a reproduction, making it a collectible for those interested in historical branding or regional Americana.

Our take

As a collector, I appreciate finding original advertising pieces, and this Fairmont Creamery blotter from the 1940s is a charming example. The yellow and red colors are still quite vibrant for its age, and the dairy theme is clearly represented. It's strictly a collectible and doesn't serve any practical purpose as an ink blotter today, given its age and vintage status. For $12.95, it’s a reasonably priced slice of Americana, particularly appealing to those who collect items from the United States or dairy-related advertising. Just remember, it's for display, not for blotting fresh ink.
