Advertising Slug, Folding Plate Camera, circa 1900
 |
A lead-on-wood advertising "slug" used for print
advertising. It shows a generic folding plate camera and pneumatic bulb release
open and ready for use.
This small (1 x 1.5 inches) block may have been used for newspaper, magazine, or catalog advertising in the early 1900s when these cameras were at their most popular. |
