Dennison's Decorated Crepe Paper; 10 Feet Long, 20 Inches Wide

Farmingham, Massachusetts: Dennison Manufacturing Co, 1930. Light Card "Envelope" or Sleeve. Very Good. Fun crepe paper with eight nursery rhyme vignettes and the like, including a Humpty Dumpty, the cow who jumped over the moon, the cat and the fiddle, Mother Goose herself riding a goose through the air, etc. N.d., circa 1930, probably from the 1920s. The patterns in total are 18 inches, or a foot and a half, wide, and are repeated, meaning that there are 11 full repeats, and a partial repeat. Other than a flattening corner dog ear, and perhaps a few short and inconspicuous tears and the like, the paper is in fine condition, the whole 10 foot stretch (truncated) intact, and the outer envelope or sleeve is all present. The edges, top and bottom, have some roughness, and besides this, there are a few closed tears and light to moderate soiling, but it seems to us, one will probably never encounter this in better condition, if at all.
